II affords the EXAMINER propretors,

tiou TO Announce this morning that
DIR. u. Il. Wallace, Of tbs city, has
purchased a oue-third Interest in the
business and appurtenances Of the
daily and weekly EXAMINER and its
publications. The style of the new
firm will be Downs, Ross a Wallace.
/ Or Wallace has a state WIDE reputa- |
ton as a pubIicist and citizen Of adj
/ vanced. enlightened ideas. As super
| utendcnt of the state asylum FOR the
! insane, the gentleman hec9me extern |
sively acquainted with public men and
measures, and occupies recognized
| position as state man. DR.. Wallace
| is possessed Of ample means, and few
! residents of Waco have better business
talents or have achieved more satisfac-
tory and successful results. Further
than tbs the new proprietor can
Justly claim literary attachments
/ of mo- mean order. The consolidated |
texuerieuce. capital and personal knowl-
edge of Texas people and history, as
possessed by Downs, Ross 4 Wallace,
is TO he actively utilized in pushing the
daily and weekly ExAMINFR to the |
limits of its sphere as a newspaper
The daily is to beimmediately enlarged
10 d six-column, eight-page paper and
supplied with every requisite mechani-
cal appliance for the publication OF a !
first-class newspaper. Additional edi-
tnrial assistance will be secured, and
the proprietors have the means to eX-
pend in extending the field Of opera
tons by means Of a large corps Of eX-
perienced Geographic correspondents
in every section Of the state. IL fact, |
to be brief and pointed, the EXAMINER |
Will be made thoroughly representa-
tive and progressive state journal, and |
WI be kept side by side with every
competitor. Waco is one of the first !
cities in the state, centrally located
with railroad facilities unsurpassed by |
any other town, and as a distributing
point for morning daily IS
uueaualed. Situated thus, the Ex-
A,rrxrR has easy access to a larger
centage than many Of its contempor-
aries, and confidently hopes to SO
nearly meet the daily necessities and
requirements of the public that 1t Will
make itself, as a natural consequence
the leading journal Of all interior
Texas. Realizing in the fullest sense
that merit must form the basis of such
am enterprise, experience, money and
diligcnt labor Will he amply and cheer
fully expended consccutiyely and judi
cinuslv. There il no cgotism whatever
in the assertion that the proprletors
feel assured Of successful ISSUE to the
investment. Texas has three repre-
sentative newspapers the Galveston
News. the Houston Post, aud the Dal-
las Herald. In their local habltats
each is supreme, and the two former
have business connection with nearly |
lIr entire state, by reason Of then
heretofore superior capital; while the
DalIa, Herald mvasurabIy owns
North Texas. Consistent with
their enterprise they deserve
their standing, ana it j. only ~ the
line of legitimate competition that the
Examiner expects or proposes to IL
fringe upon the territory OF either
Tins superior geographical position,
with ready and ample means at hand to
prouerly cultivate every nook INA
corner of the field, stimulates oar
efforts ana hcrkOns us on. There will
be no change in the management and {
1rociivities of the Examiner except ,
in tine direction of progress and en-
The capital invested IS ,
simply a business venture on the part
# the proprietors, and the full useful
ness Of the paper is unhampered.

lar and subtle sympathetic 4
connection with Texans everywhere, !
Dr.. Wallace has Immediate charge Of r
