Columbia DaiIv Herald

Next Monday week, the llth day of
April, the COLUMBIA HERALD Com
PANY will commence the publication
OF a daily afternoon paper.
1t is need less to argue an admitted
fact. 1t is unnecessary, therefore, to
consume our space and your time in
detailing the many advantages this
city will derive from a daily paper.
A daily paper is as helpful to the
growth aud prosperity of city, and
as necessary to the wants and tastes
of the people, as a weekly publication
is to the people and prosperity of the
country.
In its social life; in its religious
work; in its business growth; in its
public enterprise, in its political in
huence, in these progressive times, a
thickly settled community cannot
meet the emergencies as they arise,
cannot push their claims as they
should be, cannot advertise them
selves to The world as they ought to,
cannot keep posted on the events
happening around them, cannot
keep up with the OcessiOn"-much
less grow with it-withOut a daily
paper.
a gOOdly number of our people
think we are starting an enterprise
that is ahead of the city. They may
be correct in this. We have no quar-
rel to make with them for their opin-
ion. All we have to say in reply is
this. If they will patronize the ell
terprise as they should; give it theif
subscription mite of ten cents a week
aud encourage others to do so, our
daily will so prosper the town tdat
the town will soon be up with the
enterprise.
While we hope for the liberal
patronage from this people that
should be accorded any public enter
prise that will materially benefit the
city and county at large, we will not
rest our claims for support upon this
p ca solely, or mainly even.
We will undertake to do our part to
the fullest. This il, make clean,
moral, newsy, public spirited, Demo-
cratic newspaper. Upon all ques-
tions, political as well as others, we
will endeavor that our news columns
shall report the facts, whether they
ccOrG with our wishes or our politi-
cal views or not. And upon all pub
lie questions we will give fair hear
ing to both sides, re-erving to our
selves the right to decide upon all
questions of courtesy, public morals
aHd public good, and the limit of
space.
We will employ the services OF eX
perieuced newspaper men and cOmpe-
tent pOIdents, and with this
reportoriaI force hope to give fresh
and Grip the local happenings of
town and county.
We will publish every day from
six to eight columns OF fresh tele-
graphic news, giving in condensed
form the important daily happenings
of the world. In addition to this,
we will devote about two columns a
day To a continued story of exceed
ing merit and interest, written and
copyrighted by one of the most gifted
story writers of the day.
On Mondays we will regularly pub
lish the sermon of the Rev. DIR. Tai
mage, delivered the day before.
We have also contracted to have
letter once a week from your old
friend Bill Nye, that you may read
and laugh and laugh and read, and |
look forward to the coming of the
next one.
The Washington news, of political, |
social and general character, will be
furnished by Walter Wellman, a !
who perhaps has more !
readers the country over, and who
realizes more from his letters, than
any correspondent living.
These are but few of the leading !
and general attractions OF make up
that will be full Of all the good things
This stirring, hurrying, progressive
age furnishes.
We hav'nt a doubt we can and |
will furnish an afternoon visitor you |
will soon learn to impatiently look |
or. 1t will be brou yht to your very |
lOOr for ten cents week. Discuss il /
II the family, and when our agent |
calls, give him your name as Il sub
'criber.
