energy, will accomplish. The
WEEKLY HERALD
has grown and kept pace with the daily as
il has advanced and developed, and il is
now one of the largest and widest circulated
in the entire state. From this day on, the
weekly, like the daily, will be constantly
improved in all of its branches, until Il

purposes, therefore arrangements were
made last spring for the construction uf an
exactly adapted building In this c0nncc-

newspaper office, every detail and arrange

since the day that dirt was first broken the
work has progressed as regularly as men
AMI money and the procuring Of material
would permit, and although not line of
writing has been made these gentlemen
whose word Is rs good rs their bond, and
whose reputation for honorable treatment
and integrity, wherever they are known, is
unsurpassed, have gone on with the work,
expressing their entire Willingness TO make
any changes of plan that might seem
best. The brick for this build
ing We're made especially for IL

foot OF lumber used in its construction has
been Scrutinizingly selected. The building
