The Worthington advance., 1882-02-23
A WORD TO THE PUBLIC

A WORD TO THE PUBLIC
In a recent issue We announced the
death of the Worthington Journal
1t was revived for two issues to fill out
several land notices which were rum
ming at the time of it's death. The in
debtedness of the concern was about
81, 200 and the creditors took possession
of it, or rather took it off of the hands
of the Ogles, and have suspended publ
cation.
The material will be sold and hereaf-
ter, until the growth and business of
Worthington demand another paper,
the ADVANCE will be the only paper
published here,
One of the ploasantest features con-
nected with the closing out of the Jour.
nal is the fact that an understanding
has been reached among those who have
heretofore BEEN political enemies, aud
in future greater harmony will prevail
in the ranks of the Republican party
So far rs relates to the old fueds, the
hatchet has been buried, the pipe Of
peace has been smoked. and the politi.
Cal leaders on both sides will hereafter
work together in comparative harmony.
So far as the ADVANCE is concerned,
it remains what it always has been, Al
independent Republican paper. We
shall deem it our duty to criticize the
policy and acts of our party, where
they need it, as much rs those Of any
other party. AS \ rule, we shall, as
heretofore, support tina Republican tick.
O.. With our local differences harmon
lied, the war is over.
Ler us take long pull, a strong pull
and pull altogether for tho develop
ment of the town and the county.
THE INVASION.
A gentleman from u >neighboring
town informed US last week that there
were scores of people ready and wait
ing to move to Worthington, the mo-
ment the Burlington road was stttlsd
fact. 1t was said that one.half the
people Of neighboring town were
talking about transferring their busi-
ness and their families to Worthing-
ton, and the gentleman said he would
not he surprised to see our town doub-
le in population this year.
Whether the increase be 100 or only
50 per cent. one thing is sure. viz:
Worthington is set down in the minds
Of the people and of the railroad build
ers as the coming centre for this por-
ton of Minnesota and Iowa. There
will be regular invasion of the to wn
and county during the next few years,
and building and business boom be
yond anything our handsome little
village has ever known.
"TOLD IOUSO."
If the ADVANCE had lived 200 years
ago in New England it would have
been burned for a wizard. Our read.
ers will remember that last winter we
had Only TO advertise for I. blizzard and
it came almost as soon us we got to
press. When the cold snap and the
fuel famine came together, the AD-
VANCE put in . request to Boreas to
give us Il rest for a few weeks till we
could get in supply Of fuel. In three
hours after we went TO press, the old
weather god had called off all his winds
aud il mild term set III which lasted
two weeks.
Last week, finding that the ice crop
was about to fail and that the lumber
men were distressed at the fear Of not
getting their logs out land lumber was
going up and we wanted to build) the
ADVANCE began to look around for
winter. Just then old Father Time
came in and said he wanted to put an
advertisement in the paper. He lean
ed Ills scythe against case, wiped the
perspiration from his long white beard,
and said that his hoy, Winter, had not
returned yet and lie WAS beginning to
grow uneasy. So we wrote out an ad.
and inserted it in last weeks issue.
The ad. seems to have been telegrapl,ed
1T once to Alaska or the Pole, by the
wireless, Aurora Borealis line, for be-
fore we got the paper IF, here came the
red-faced, boisterous Winter, whoop-
ing and bowling and showing, and
shouting, "Iere's your ice!'' get
around there lively and sled out your
logs, here's your snow!' pile out of
there, you smallpox and scarlet fever!"
Get out your bobs, boys, aud haul
them stone for Miller's new otlice!''
MoRAL.-When you want anything,
advertise in the ADVANCE.
