All we want is the ''git-up-and-git."
Why do we ship 800 car loads of coal
from abroad, thus paying out $4,000
per annum? Simply because our
roads are bad and we can't haul our
own coal to town. This must be rem
edied at once. All we want is unity Z;

South-Greetjng:
When, four years ago, VIC took
charge of the financial interests OF
this paper, we need not say to those
well-informed on this subject, that the
prospect was dlsheartening. Under
management whose fidelity and ability
we have no right or disposition to
question, it was yet the fact that the
paper had failed to pay. To-day,
however, though the country had been
passing through ona of the most
gloomy and generally disastrous of
all the money crises it has ever wit
messed, and still feels its p~aralyzing
effects, We are happy to announce that
the Advocate stands on the proud
and happy pinnacle Of s~elf-support.
From day to day, and from week to
week, It's subscription list has been
steadily growing. To illustrate, the
net gain within the last twelve months
hes been 20 4S-l00 per cent. This
is as it should c,and is inaXpressibly
gratifying to us. The editorial man.
agement has been an unqualified sue
cess, rs is shown in the steady growth
of patronage. But, excellent as it
has been AMI is. it will be, from time
to time, yet further enlarged and i'm
proved. We have engaged, as rep
resenting largely the sentiment and
thought of the Southwest, the services
of Rev. ii. V. Philpott, who will from
this time be added to the editorial
corps of the Advocate, and this will
doubtless elicit a generous addition
to the support OF the paper from that
whole section Of the country.
The Editorial corps will now consist
of Rev. ID. Il. M'Anally, d.. D.,
Editor in chief; Revs. A. c.. Hay
good, Eugene X. Hendrix, and II.
V. phiIpott, Associates.
In conclusion, we tender hearty
thanks to all the friends OF the Advo-
cate in the past, and solicit a con-
tinuance of their efficient labors for
its support. Let each OF the present
subscribers send us another name as
a New Years present, and ours will
be indeed, as we devoutiy hope theirs
may be, a grateful and happy New
Year.
