The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1885-10-24
AN OLD AND SUPERIOR NEWS
PAPER.

The New orleEos Picsyune of the
slst il slant, comes to us direct from it's
now Hoe Webb perfscting press, the
duplicate Of that now en- route from
New York to THE HERALD. That
great journal and honored stand by of
the South, takes occasion to celebrate
its semi-csntennisl aad to refer with |
laudsble pride TO its past history, its
present status, and the encouray-
ing outlook for its future. 1t says
that according to RowELL's Directory
there are about 1900 periodical publ |
cations in the United States. These
figures include all the daily, weekly
and monthly issues. Ordailies, there
are about l,250. OF all these publics-
tions there are less than 100 which
have reached the age of half q century,
and less than 10 which haYe reached
the age OF 100 years. or the dsilies,
there are less than two score that have
reached thoir semi-centennial anniyer-
sary.
1t thus holds forth: "To-day, when
extensive improvements have been
completed In the PicayuBe Office, and
), it has been supplied with the most
perfect Appliances for the production
b of this old and favorite newspaper, the
!, managers have right to rejoice that
in the first place they have won public
n favor and confidence to an extent that
ljustiiiss aud demands these improve
o ments. This Is something of which
q they are truly proud. In the next
place they are bsppy 10 announce to
Il their good friends and generous
. patrons that the Picayune is better
a than ever able to serve them.
l. "For 40 years IL has worked late and
carly to build up this city and State
= and the South. III every good work
a and word II has been tive aud
faithful. Ii has suffered when the
u good people OF this city were plunged
into misfortune, and it has rejoicsd
when they we're lifCed up and pros
pere6; and In al those years 1t has
been their ssannch friend, and TO the
best ofits AGILITY their fataful coun-
I selor.
IT "But all thisis In tho past. IL Ia q his
~ tory on record and treasured away In
the files Of ibis Office. To-day, how
U ever, we belong, not TO the past, but to
l. tho present. Whatever ba tho great
= ness and grandeur of New Orleans, the
Pic2yune is q part OF it, and whatever
of grandeur and glory and prosperity
there is to DO for it in tho future, the
Pioayune viii strive to he an instrl-
a menJ in its accomplishment For sc
ID years, nearly, II has been u part OF the
- lie and history Of New Orleans. For
W 90 years 10 come, and more, as we be-
s. lieve and hope, tho Plcayune will bs
~ part and parcel OF tho city's destiny,
growing with its growth and sharing
its grandeur.
i, "What 1t has been from the beginning
: it Will be- to the end. 10 New Orleans
l. and to Louisiana it can say, as did the
g beautiful Moabitess to hor mother
Il NAOMI: sWhere thou lodgest / will
lodge; thy people shall be my people,
Al and thy God my God. Where thou
