The Hope Pioneer started out
last week on its twelfth year. In
reviewing his connection with the
Pioneer, Editor Iseminger says:
's'The Pioneer has never been SUBJ
merged very deeply in the chilly
waves Of adversely, and since the
writer assumed the management,
some three and half years ago, he
has managed to live and hold in
reserve each week enough ofstrength
to attempt his best efforts at getting
out paper which might rightfully
bear the name Of newspaper that
without fear Of contradiction. y
We are not beggars, and if you think
you will derive no benefit by adver-
Using or other work placed with US,
do not SO place it. We only want
what we earn, and honestly. We
will continue through the new year
just entered to try and improve with
the town and march with the van of
Its progress" Advertisers certainly
get the worth Of their money and
nothing helps more to build up
town than the local newspaper. The
Pioneer is credit to Hope and the
COURIER is glad to see its citizens
stand by it. We wish Editor Isem-
inger continued prosperity and good
lnck.
