The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1891-10-03
AN EVEN YEAR.

the calander months, One year old.
A year ago to-day the old man now il
a possession, while making 40 new prom
Uses, introduced some methods new, a
e least, in practice
In a retrospective glance ii is doubles:
we'll to dwell briefly upon a few impor
tant points.
A year in a newspapers life may near
little or it may mean much. In the life
of an individual a year does not Of ne.
cessity establish any fact.
But with a newspaper twelve months
must show some progression or retrogres
sion.
A newspaper, by the very nature of
things must go forward or backward; it
cannot stand still. 1t cannot say, "wait
till | get ready" 1t must always be
ready.
THE GLOBE believes that it has always
been ready. It's subscription list has in
creased daily from a year ago.. To-day
We print several hundred more copies
than we did last October and the list is
still increasing. The following affidavit
under this date nay not be out of place ::
&. d. WHITAKER, being first duly
sworn, doth depose and say that the sub
scription list to THE DAILY and WEEKLY
DURHAM GLOBE has increased each week
since the publisher and owner, AL FAIR
BROTHER, took hold Of said publication
that the increase is steady and growing,
and that to-day We print papers for more
BONA fide subscribers than ever in the
history Of THE GLOBE newspaper.
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this 4th day of September, 1891.

Under the present management THE
GLOBE has demonstrated three or four
things.
1t hopes hat it may be pardoned for
mentioning them.
First of all, it has shown that it knew
how to tell the truth and that it would
tell the truth.
It has proven that it was the friend
of the poor man and that the rich man
was peddling none of its apples.
1t has established a happy habit Of
printing the news when it was new. re-
CARELESS of requests to let the news get
stale.
1t has demonstrated another fact which
to have been long in doubt, and
which is, that honesty and fearlessness
will ever win.
1t has asked no favors and it has paid
is debts.
Its publisher has paid for his office and s
S accountable for the papers views only {
himself.
HE GLOBE to-day occupies a position ;
which is purely Independent. G
1t has been here a year under this
management and without using the word |

The fact that The GLOBE has paid it's
lebts, that its business has increased :.

aging is. But we have gotten almost @

entions in the year past but who, for l
le most part have shown themselves to r.
