The offerings of new wheat are liberal,
and the quality the best we have seen for
years. The farmers til at avail themselves
of the first market will probably realize
more for their wheat than those that hold
and suffer the shrinkage.

mand for dri d fruits this season, especially
for blackberries. Our people should save
all they can of this crop.

THE
subscribe ior a Good, Reliable News
paper.

The DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
BY enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit contin-
0ation Of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not a Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION Of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ Of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
As newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor~
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish a paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
ly correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub
lican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view Of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
to reduce the price Of the WEEKLY
WHIG AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times, In the future we will send
our weekly paper to subscribers on
the following.
