When first seen they were about ten

stripping the wreck OF her gear.
a four-masted steamer was passed prior
to sighting the supposed wreck, which the
captain thought was Netherlands Amer

Announcement.

We hope to be able to give the
readers of the COURIER a first
class county paper next year. We
have a very satisfactory list of sub
scribers and feel that they are rep
resentive families of the county.
1t is known fact that the. best
element Of people are interested
in the county IN which they live
and are wanting to know what is
going on therein. We don't ask
that patron be worth many dol
lars and cents to take our paper
but TO be honest; which we think
all persons who have pride in
county affairs enough to take their
county newspaper are. We have
been. told thai we had many sub
scribers from which we could not
expect anything. We think diff.
ferent from the way they are COM
ing forward and settling.
