For the Centennial Year.
1857!
1851!

During all the century Of our national
existence, no one year has perhaps eni~
bodied so much Of interest and impor-
lance as will be comprised within the
twelve months Of the Centennial Ami
versary. The year 1876 witnesses in the
popular Congressional body the return to
power Of the great National Democracy,
which will be watched with intense in
terest in its every movement The great
Centennial Exposition. illustrating and
emphasizing every phase OF the nations
progress, side by side with the develope-
ments of universal civilization, will afford
a constant fund of incident and informa-
ton, which, to the great mass Of the peo~
pie, can only be reflected by the newspa-
per Of broad scope and commanding re-
sources The Presidential contest ofthe
year, with the great diversity OF interests
and opinions, and the anomalous align
ment Of men. -and parties, and sections,
will be fought with a skill. energy and
weariness only eqhaled by the moment
Gus results depending upon the great
struggle.
An era so full Of interest signalizes the
extraordinary need of all the people for
means Conformation and instruction and
stimulates the press to its highest possi-
blities. Conscious Of this need, and in
ready response to it, the management Of
the
LOUISVILLE COURIER-JOURNAL
Is determined that its Forty-sixth year
shall more than maintain its supremacy
as the great newspaper Of the West and
South.
The CoURIER-JoURNAL combines the
experience, ability and material resources
of three old time Louisville newspapers
of national repute-the Louisville Couri>
err, Louisville Journal and Louisville
DemOcrat-and is fortified in the respect
and con fidenee resulting from nearly half
century Of their individual and COM
bined success. Its thoroughly independ-
ent Democratic position will be fully
maintained, and all its departments will
be most carefully prepared. II gives, in
the course of a year, several attractive
serial novels, romanees, &c, written ex-
pressly for its columns; its telegraphic
summary faithfully reflects all the news
of the world; able special correspondents
write from all the great capitals; the
financial and commercial reports are CO.
pious and trustworthy; the agricultural
department is becoming more and more
complete and interesting; the Patrons OF
Husbandry have in the COURIER-JoURNAL
the advantage Of a great newspaper pub
lished in the city Of their National Head
quarters, with a grange department writ
ten by a member of the order, whose de-
votion, ability and prudence are univer-
sally acknowledged; wit, satire, gossip
and paragraphs pungency are represent
ed in many varied departments.
The CoURlER-JoURNAL is submitted to
the people as embracing a combination of
all the conservative elements which have
Joined hands over the altar Of the Con-
stitution in forming a great. national,
Democratic party. II is also presented
as the largest, hvest and cheapest news
paper in America. No other paper pub
lished in the South or Southwest can ap-
proach it in these respects.
For the truth of these assertions, the
reader is simply requested to compare
the CoURIER-JoURSAL, line by line and
column by column, with any other news
paper south Of the Ohio river. IL the re-
suit is not found to leave balance in its
favor. we will not urge the point. Our
aim is to produce the best article on the
market and to sell it cheapest The
law Of trade applies not less to newspa-
pers than to other articles of everyday
life. We look to the unvarying rule OF
this great common law for our success
By giving the public the largest, Invest,
fullest. freshest, cheapest and most rep
resentative press, the CoURIER-JoURNAL
expects to surpass all rivalry in circula-
tion and influence.
