WE HOPE TO IMPROvE-THE DEMO |
GRAFT hopes to make some improvement |
now. A machinist from Richmond spent
last week overhauling our printing ma
chinery, and making repairs generally. |
While we generally give as good print as
any other paper, we hope to give better
print now. BY the way, we had to plank |
down considerable money for the work |
we had done, and we shall be glad to have
what you owe US now.
A POINTER than once, twice, |
or three times have we SAID in these coll |
umns that the world judges the prosperity
of town largely by the advertising
done IN it, AS an evidence of the truth
in our statements, a reader of THE DEM
OCRAT in anothdr state writes the fol-
lowing: L see your merchants are
falling into line with good lads" |
think it shows your town is on the up
grade"
