We invite the special attention of our
readers to the prospectus of the New
York Tribune printed in this edition of
THE TIMES. The Tribune has for about
FORTY years been the leading newspaper of
the country, was never more ably edited
than it is to-day, and we know of no
Journal that is better informed or sounder
on all the great political issues of the day.
The weekly is especially of great value to
every farmer and producer in the land and
ought to have large circulation in this
county. We shall be glad to receive sub.
scriptions 10 any edition of The Tribune
