This week we present the STAR to its
readers I'm a new makeup. 1t will be
seen that the space for reading matter
has been increased, and that 1t includes
a summary Of Michigan State news,
Legislative proceedings, and u summa-
ry Of foreign and domestic telegraph
news. While the matter will be con-
densed; yet 1t will give all the import
ant points, which is, all the general
readers desire. In short, we believe
we can thus give the news 50 that eve-
ry rsader Of the paper can keep well
informed In regard to vii the leading
topics Of the day without spending an
undue length of time TO read and gain
the information. II b our aim and de-
sire to make and k~ep che STAR second
to ITO country weekly In this part Of the
country. We never have; nor do we
ever expect to lose faith In the future
Of Lake county. We believe that there
Is ample resource to produce, when
properly developed, one Of the first
counties in the State. All that we can
consistently do for the advancement Of
the material Interests Of the county
shall be done cheerfully; and In return
for this labor we expect to receive .
csrdIsl support from her citizens and
those having interests here. 1t Il our
Intention 70. treat fairly Of all matters,
and tn have No difference sf opinion,
except where We are honestly entitled
thereto. We shall favor the honest
lsboring portion Of our citizens; and
have nothing left to bestow upon the
indolent, shiftless part, who, producing
nothing, manage to live, like droncs in
the hive, or the productions Of others.
Il y our wish tolmake the local depart
merit Of eur paper, especially, full and
complete, and again request our friends
and correspondents to Assist W. by hsr-
nishing promptly all items Of interest
In their respective localities; We agree
ing on eur part TO give proper remuR-
Grafton.
