news and gossip Of the various neghb hoods in the
County and all public and official County matters which
is necessary for every active and intelligent citizen to
know. We make this special claim the patronage

purpose of obtaining patronage But aside from its poll
tics the that it contains is of value to
man of every party in the County 1t is the only
paper published in the County. and the only that
fulfilled all its contracts with its subscribers.
The Chief has long been celebrated for its excellent
Miscellaneous Departments occupying the principal part
of its outside pagcsts fine poetry choice stories inter

On all public questions the Chief will have opinions of
its own, and never hesitates to express them.
The political year of in Nation and State will be
of the most exciting and the history of
the country 1t will equal surpa~s the campaign of
1860 and may lead to like results No Republican in the
County, especially, should fail to take the Chief Times
improving and prices ad vancng and every can
