Vol. Y, No. I.

Nine years ago we established the
Exchange here uuder what we then
thought the most favorable prospects.
The business men and citizens gener-
ally rallied with the most generous
support; and the paper had a flatter-
ing start into life. Since then we
had the financial panic, two severe
drouths, the yellow fever epidemic
once, besides many other drawbacks
of which the public did not know.
But the paper has lived through
them all, and is now in better con.
ditiony financially. than ever before.
1t ewes no bill. which there is not
money in its treasury to pay on de-
mand; il is run economically; aud it
has many warn friends. But still
the business men of the town are not
doing their whole duty. The num-
ber Of them who give it material sup.
port could be counted ON the fingers
of one hand. If their patronage
were to be withdrawn, we should be
compelled to move away, The busi-
ness of the town is not represented in
our columns; yet our advertising rates
are reasonably low. Look over our
columns, and you will find only one
drug store, one millinery store, two
dry goods stores, two groceries stores,
one bakery, one undertaken, one
physician, one butcher, one photo
grapher, one barber, and two saloons.
This would about represent little
way station on one of our railroads,
and not "the Atlanta of West Ten.
nessee." True this is the dull season,
and not much advertising is being
done; but that is no excuse. Every
business and profession in the towr
should he represented in the column,
Of the town paper-even If 1t be on

popular taste is in the direction of fresh

production of butter of this character is
its lack of keeping qualities. 1t com.
