The Change

That we are enabled to present our
readers with the ADVOCATE enlarged to a
nine column folio, is gratifying to us at
least, and we hope it will be appreciated
by its patrons. When the present senior
publishers took charge of the ADVOCATE
it was with considerable hesitancy, as we
considered it at best hazardous expert
ment; times were hard, subscribers were
serious sufferers by the well remembered
visitations of drouth and grasshoppers,
which obliged all to incur no expenses be-
yond actual necessities. Strangers among
you we felt the dif6dence oocasioned
through lack of friends and acquaintance,
and at heart predicted brief newspaper
career.
With the lapse of time and the unpar-
alleled development of our Territory and
county, has come welcome and congratu-
lating change for the better to its citizens.
Of their prospects, we have often during
our travels the past year heard commend
able prophecies, which combined with facts
brought to our notice, leads us to
the conclusion that in due time Lincoln
county will be an imported factor among
other elements that will go to make one
Of the bright stars of the West.
One particular feature is that our citizens
themselves feel this growing importance,
not through conceit or egotism, but as a
fact that produces faith and encourage
ment. In word we all have reason to be
thankful that after many days the bread
cast upon the waters has returned increas-
ed. Patrons. if you will kindly appreciate
our efforts to merit your approval, it will
be our endeavor to labor for your
interests as heretofore, when in the dark
days we sympathized with, and in unison
encouraged each other.
We take pleasure in introducing as asso-
ciate editor and joint proprietor Mr.. G. w.
Harmon, whose experience as an editor
and practical printer will prove, we trust,
Of valuable aid in maintaining the ADvo-
CATE, and not only retaining its past and
present friends, but in enlarging and in
creasing its interests.
