During sl this period its prominent object mas
been TO advance the interests Of the people vi
whose life it is the daily chronicle. It's fortunes
have been their f, 'uneS; 1t has shared their
prosperity and suffered in their disasters. Its
inspiration has been the desire to forward the
best interests OF the community in which it Is
located, and its own prosperity Is. AS 1t has been
purpusely made, inSeparable from that OF the
community it aims to represent When they
grow rich it hopes for reward commensurate
with its ubors While they are poor it expects
to work with them aud for them, expecting to
make their success the measure of lts own.
