Semi-weekly south Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1883-1889, 1885-09-15
PERSONAL.

1t is only once in while that the
South KENTUcKIAN lays aside its
characteristic modesty long enough
to talk to the public about its own
affairs. The last week, however, has
marked an event in its history of suf-
ficient importance to justify few
words upon the subject of self. On
last Friday we moved our office into
our new building, just completed
and designed especially for our per-
manent occupancy. For seven
years the Souri,, KENTucKIAN has
been appearing as a candidate for
public favor. Its publishers have
labored earnestly and increasingly
to make it paper such as Hopkins
vile had never had before; one that
would give all the local news, fresh,
reliable and at very reasonable
price. Step by step the paper adj
vanced from weekly printed OH an
old hand-press at 1920 a year, to a
live, newsy semi-weekly printed
with the best of material on power
press, at the same price originally
charged for the weekly.
We have gradually improved the
office until we now have, we believe,
the best equipped publishing and job
printing office in Western Kentucky.
Our facilities for doing book and
pamphlet work, fine job printing and
in fact all classes of work in our line
are unequaled by any house in this
! or surrounding counties. AS stated
above we are now located in our new
office on Nashville street, where we
will be pleased to see and serve our
friends and the rest of mankind.
Our new building is two-story
brick structure, with high ceilings
and an abundance of light and ven-
tilation on. three sides. It is divided
into five rooms, four of which we &C.
cupy. The building is S6 by27 feet
and we believe that we do not make
an idle boast when we say that we
have the best arranged office in Ken
lucky, outside of Louisville Olfthe
first floor store-room 60feet long is
cut off in front and the room in the
rear, 251ax25 feet, is occupied as our
press room,t with steps leading to
the composing room above. The
+ second story is divided into Il COM
!, posing room, 60x251S feet, aud a
suite of rooms in front, for business
office and editorial room. These
rooms are communicated with by
broad stairways at each end of the
building and no effort has been
J spared to finish and furnish the
rooms in style becoming first
class newspaper. We cordially in
vite any and all of our friends to call
Onaus IN our new quarters and we
win show to them that we have
painted on our wheel-house, "Come
TO Stay"
One more word: The SOUTH KEN.
TUoKIAN intends to maintain its rep
( utation as the best newspaper ever
published in the county. We flattel
ourselves that we are the pioneers il
meeting the demands of this section
for fresh, and at the same time cheat
/, news and we intend to meet every
demand of the section in which oul
paper circulates. We publish pa
per for "revenue only" and not fol
glory and it is not our purpose t.
build air-castles, or rush headlong in
TO schemes that are not approved by
~ our judgment, but we promise tn,
reading pnblic of Christian and adj
jaccnt counties to meet every demaht
for fresher news. We desire tore
turn our fervent thanks for the kint
and generous fayors, extended to, U
in the past and we shall endeavor t
merit a continued and increased
endorsement from the public in tn
years to come. ,,.......
