THE TIMES viii enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-

THE TIMES has no party to follow. no ttndf-

The value of a newspaper is not in its size or

cOnciseness and freshness with which it fs
edited. THE TINES spends laKishIy for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed in
order to give the complete news Of tine day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
It large variety of entertaining and instruc-

Tar WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers Of twenty years
ago. The DAY Of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
Of rural population. have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfyinE. Those
that cling TO their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our Mountaineering people; they
are but shadows Of their former greatness. and
they have but a shadow Of their former power.
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
Is gone; and. with it, they are going, too. Ii
was not the fault Of the papers: IL was the i'm
prOvcHcnt Of the country that brought bout
the change. Men and women, wherever they
live, now require frgsher news; aud they re-
quirc more than news.
