Local Celebrities 10 be Presented.
Fer the past five months the SuNDA,
TATTLER has been Offering to the com
munity, for mere song, the best loca
newspaper that has ever been given to am
community. The price of the paper, which
stroke to cent. We knew when we made
the reduction that it would be serious
loss to us, but we were willing to stand the
sacrifice because of the larger circle oil
readers to whom we would be introduced
and we have charged the deficit up as an
advertisement from which we have reaped
handsome reward. We have reached, al
the reduced price, thousands of readers
whom we had never had with us before
We haze. accomplished all that we started
out to accomplish. We feel that we have,
by tire excellence and thoroughness of the
paper, made our new readers our friends,
and shortly-it may be next Sunday-the
price OF the paper will be advanced to two
cents.
This advance in price is due to the fact
that the growth of the paper in circulation,
influence and patronage makes it absolutely
necessary to make it larger. just as soon
as it is possible to complete the necessary
preparations hope to have completed
them In time for the issue of next Sunday
the paper will be eight columns larger on
its whole surface than it is now; and. if
necessary, we shall subsequently, add an
other five columns of space to it. For the
present, however, we shall content our
selves with an eight-column enlargement.
There will be thirty-tw two columns of space
IN 1T, and the columns will be three inches
longer than they are now.
The crowd of advertisement upon our
columns reduces us this week, and has for
the last three weeks, to the necessity of
trenching on the space which we designed
and desired to surrender to our readers
Inc policy OF this paper is to disfgure
neither the first nor the second page with
advertisements, but exigency has forced us
to surrender not only the whole of the third
and fourth pages but two columns of the
second page to advertisements. The en-
largement will save us the necessity of
DONG that again-and we do not propose
to do it again under any circumstances.
We propose, in the enlarged paper, to give
our readers at least twenty columns or
more of the freshest and most interesting
reading matter, and frequently we shall
give them much more The first and sec
ond pages will be kept reiigiously for the
publication of the general local and tele-
graphic news, of social items, society and
lodge matters; military, sporting and politi-
cal Items. We intend to run, besides, two
coiumns-more, if we can-of local reading
on the fourth page. The third page will
present an attractive story and such liter
airy melange as, in our Judgment, will please
the taste of our readers.
In addition to this we propose to run
new feature, in the enlarged paper, that no
local paper in the State in the State has
ever yet run. We have secured the SER
vices OF finished sketch artist, who will
each week supply the TATTLER with cuts
portraying the persons of local prominence
IN this city and Hoboken. IF any local
event OF large interest occurs during a
week, the TATTLER of the next Sunday
will present portraits Of those who figure
ins it. On other Sundays we shall give
to the public the lined portraits of gentle
men who are prominent in social or society
circles, in politics, business or public move
ments of any kind, and we hope, with their
PERMISSION, to portrait the ladies who are
conspicuous in all active circles throughout
the county. As often as we can we shall
announce each Sunday whose picture will
appear in the issue of the following Sunday.
The gentleman who will do the drawing
and prepare the cuts for us will be careful
to make the pictures true to the life, and
the reader who will cut the pictures from
his or her paper will in course of time have
complete gallery of local celebrities. We
do not propose, however, to expend all our
enterprise on these drawings, but shall
continue to be as we have all along been,
the most readable and energetic and best
informed local newspaper in Hudson
County. Our forms" are kept open till
two o'clock Sunday morning, and the
fullest and very latest Saturday night in
telligence, local and telegraphic, will always
be found in our columns. We shall be
complete Sunday morning newspaper, with
the advantage here over all Sunday morn
ing newspapers of presenting the fullest
local attractions.
