Our WEEKLY PArEH.-It has long
been tho desire Of tho publishers of
THE News AND HERALD to present
their '"kly paper in al enlarged
form, aud their purpose is carried out
this week. The increase in tho guam
tity Of reading matter is about eighty
per cent, and VIC trust our readers
will perceive general improvement.
This enlargement las involved no
small outlay, in the purchase of u now
prcss and other, necessary material,
md has been made with the view to
give subscribers rs much reading mat
ter as possible for their money. The
indications arc that it is not q propi-
tious time for any increase Of cxpcndi-
turc, but we trust that our efforts to
give the people Of Fairfield paper
worthy Of their support will meet with
such general and substantial cncour-
agcncnt as will prove our venture to
bc q wise one. Its success will de-
pend upon the response it cvokcs from
the patrons ofthe paper. If every de-
linqucnt subscriber will pay up-if,
indeed, every one, whatever he may
owe, will promptly pay Il years. sub
scription, we shovld be at once cn-
couraged and aided in our efforts to
publish n first class weekly.
IN the five years during which THE
News AND HERALD has been under IFS
present management, there has been
much to discourage, and, as we have
said before, any improvements we
may have made have resulted rather
from our desire to issue a first-ratc
paper than from any increase ofprotits
justifying increased expenditures.
Wo acknowledge our Indebtedness to
our patrons-both subscribers and adj
vcrtiscrs-for that kindly support
without which VIC should have accom-
plishcd nothing. We trust We shall
always show our appreciation Of the
tavors we have enjoyed, by using our
constant efforts not only to supply
readable paper, but at the same time
to advance the true interests Of the
good people of Fairfield.
