INTRODUCTORY.

We are well aware that in the manage
ment of newspaper of that class usually
termed country newspapers" large
share of attention must be bestowed upon
its local columns In fruitful and flourish
ing county, its progress is always OF inter
est To its inhabitants and the events that
take place should be promptly presented
in the newspaper, that it may reflect the
every day life ofthe county, and preserve
for future reference those events which are
to become part of its history. These are
matters which can be recorded and seen
nowhere else except in the county news
paper and it is this fact which gives the
country press its highest value. Knowing
this we shall omit neither labor or expense
to make the local columns of the, REPUBLI-
CAN a mirror into which the people of the
county NAV look and see themselves. The
other departments of the REPUBLICAN,, the
editorial and miscellaneous viii receive
the constant and scrutinizing care to which
they are entitled, the local columns will re-
ceive more careful labor than it is usual to
be stow upon them. A competent assistant,
Mr.. w. w. SMITH, will have immediate
charge of this part of the REPUBLICAN, in
the duties of which he will be aided by the
editor and others, who together will GER
tainly make these local columns weekly
exhibition Of the county. In this our
friends can aid us greatly by informing US
of any important events that may take
place in their respective localities. MIR.
Smith will be glad to be placed in posses
sion o: facts and will cheerfully put them
in proper shape for publication
There are few counties in the state with
more come out - to them than Marshall.
Heavily timbered, it could not be so rapidly
developed as a county more open and re
curing less labor for improvement, but 1t
has steadily grown and is now pushing on
ward rejoicing in the prospect OF more
luxuriant grain crop than perhaps any 9th
er county in the north end OF the State.
Its growth and prosperity are signally
manifest to one who, like the writer, has
been absent from il for many years. The
contrast is very great between what Mar
shall county is now and as we remember it
in the days of our boyhOOd. We hope
through the columns of the REPUBLICAN
to bring home knowledge of this prosper
ity To all the people OF the county, so tina.
any one locality shall know any other
part aud understand and appreciate its re-
sources, and productive capacity. The re
PUBLICAN through its local columns will
be medium of inter communication be-
tween town and country, between the
north and south sides of the county, and
the east and the west.
1t should be remembered that this is
kind of news that does not come by tele-
graph and can not be found in the great city
dailies; but it is our home life, and hence
more important than any other. And this
part of our work shall receive our especial
care.
And now the new REPUBLICAN is before
you. We hope you will like it and that it
will continue to grow in your favor with
each succeeding number.
