inspiration has been the desire to forward the
best interests of the community in which 1t Is
located and its own prosperity Is, as 1t has been
purposely made, inseparable from that OF the
community it aims to represent. When they
grow rich it hopes for reward commensurate
with its labors While they are poor it expects
to work with them and for them, expecting to
make their success the measure of its own.
The past of the Gazette is offered rs an index

perience of journalism. Every year NEW
