 sire to further test the appreciation or our friends, the public, and because we have an ambition to print a county newspaper, which shali be second to none in the state, in size, tone, and general appearance.

 shall try to give you n tirst-class home paper, and to deserve your patronage
 and cheering encouragement. then 1 this venture will be grand success. 1 TIE TEES has been Il success since

 We want your assistance and co. operation in this enterprise.
