Our Carriers Address is unanimously voted
to be about the best ever seen-both as to its
literary and typographical execution. Many
are anxious to know who is its author and we
will now tell them. 1t is Mr.. j. Allen Coombs,
Of the Hurricane. Mr. Coombs got it up on
very short notice and we doubt whether the
work could have been put into better hands
than his. The determination of the HERALD
this year is to secure the best talent in every
department. This is why we got Mr. Coombs
to write the Carriers address, and why the
HERALD will continue to give its readers the
benefit of his poetic and Literary talent. This
Is why we employ so good a printer as Mr.
Parker This is why w0 employ the distin>
guished Redpath as our political cerresp ond-
ent. and this is why if we meet with continued
success other names will grace and enrich
these columns, and other attractions will be
added
