LOUISVILLE COURIER-JOCRNAL
Is determined that its Forty-sixth year
shall more than maintain its supremacy
as the great newspaper Of the West and
South.
The CoURER-JoURNAL combines the
experience. ability and material resources
of three old time Louisville newspapers
Of national repute-the Louisville COnri>

and con fdence resulting from nearly half

maintained, and all its departments will
be most carefully prepared. 1t gives, in
the course of q year, several attractive

For the truth Of these assertions. the
reader is simply requested to compare
the COURIER-JOURNAL, line by line and
column by column, with any other news
