newspapers of the country. All of them
were after 1t. but, as usual, the EVENING
JOURNAL printed 1t first.
Many other leading articles in the frst
year OF our work gave us prestige fo1
printing the freshest news. We have
never lost that prestige We have COW
cred local news with the utmost dill
genes and never in a dull way. Our
columns are never tiresome, and the
reason of that is that our bright young
men" are just what the name implies.
The second year Of tho paper brought
increased patronage In advertisements
and circulation. IL is best epitomized
in the following extracts from the edi-
torial colums of the second anniversary
ITO day the EVENING JOURNAL has a
business, clientage, O reputation for
meaning what IL says and saying what
Is means, circulation ard a popularity
second to no other paper In the state. The
EVENING JOURNAL is gaining constantly
In circulation, in business and in influence

matter too trivial for the EVENING Jour
NAL TO handle in the interest of truth,
Justice, honesty and for the welfsre OF
the people That is why the EVENING
JOURNAL Is here that is why 1t is to day
the most successful PAPER that was ever
started in Delaware; that Is why it has
lived for two years so SUCCESSFULLY; that
Is why 1t will be more successful in the
coming year. which 1t begins to day. To
those who are envious and Jealous, to
those who hate courage, righteousness
and truth, we say blaze away and fatten
your bullets aud hack your swords
upon an,armor which cannot be pierced
nor torn away; IL is as beautiful as it is
good
There was no interruption to the
papers success In the year Just closed.
But few days passed ON which we did
not have several beats" on our con
temporsries. This became SO common
that the novelty wore of. But we
never failed to keep up the standard and
never lowered our record. When a
person was interested In certain item
OF news he was sure to find II in this
paper. Little or great, it had
its due prominence. We covered
base ball and other sporting
news, marriages. and other social events
with especial attention to detail. Our
best work In the latter line was our re-
ports of the marriage of Count R. A.
Lewenhaupt and Miss Ellen Baysrd. the
marriage of Miss Katharine Wilson to
Henry Thompson. the Carpenter
