Salutatory,

DuluIuJOlJ
1t is with profound sense of the
responsibility which attaches to the
position that we assume the editorial
management and direction of this
new venture. In so doing. we are
also aware of the delicate and diff
cult problems which may arise and
the complex situations which sur
round any one who endeavors to
keep abreast of the times. 1t is the
duty of Il newspaper to so present the
current events of the day that read
ers may be well informed, and also
TO comment on the various ques-
tions, and to so cOllate the many
items of news that the reading pub
lie may readily absorb and quickly
comprehend the local and general
information it seeks. Necessarily
the newspaper becomes to a greater
or less extent Il moldcr of the opin-
ions, and a suggester of the ideas of
the community Its influence is sub
tie and far reaching. 1t is read by
the younger as well as the older
members of the family. 1t has its
place along with the spelling book
the reader and the history in form
ing the youthful mind. In morals
its should be chaste, in virtue above
suspicion, in politics clean and con-
sistent and in religion devoutly re
spectful. With these cardinal prin-
ciples in view it will be our aim to
so conduct the PREss that it may en-
ter your homes as a welcome and
trusted friend, and while in many
respects our opinions may not coin
eide with yours we shall endeavor
to so present them as not to offend
the taste of Il dispassionate reader.
In politics this paper will be Re
publican because we believe that
the principles of that party as con-
templated by its founders, and as
steadily developed and maintained
by its noblest and purest men are
best calculated to secure America
for Americans in the highest sense
of those words. We would welcome
the immigrant from whatever coun-
try who comes here intending to
conform to our laws and become
one of our citizens attached to the
principles of our Constitution, but
we believe that stringent laws
should be enacted to shut out that
vicious and ignorant class which
simply competes with American
workingmen, and because of their
non-assimilation with our laws are
dangerous to American institutions
In local politics we shall urge the
selection Of those who in our judg-
ment are best fitted to administer
the duties of the positions to be
filled. We do not think any com
munity viii progress or prosper
when its affairs are entrusted to in
competent and improper men. There
are such in both of the great politi
cal parties.
Our object will be to present tho
news of our county in such manner

A FAMOUS MANS MOTHER.

Tribute to His Mother.

Tribute to His Mother.
trace to my mother 5 direct influence
three leading motives of her youngest
sons life-the love of personal liberty,
Of religious freedom and Of the equality
of the seXes-writes Thomas Wentworth
Hipginson in The Ladies Home Jour
nal As to the more subtle and intimate
influences, they ordinarily came by con-
tact, not by preaching. She always
maintained that the younger children Of
a large family had much better chance
for development than the elder because
they had more freedom to develop them
selves. With her elder children, she al.
ways said, verconscientiousness almost
bore her to the earth. She felt person
ally responsible for every childish fault.
She had been reared in the school Of
Locke, which regarded the human soul
as blank paper, on which parents and
teachers did all the writing. But her
children were Of strong and varied indi-
viduality, and she learned i'll time 10
study the temperament Of each and be
patient with its unfolding. Her whole
formula Of training consisted in these
three things: To retain the entire conf
dence Of the child, to do whatever seem
ed wisest and TO be patient Her trust
in Providence was absolute and control
ling, as, was her sense Of the personality
Of the Deity
Most valuable Of all her traits to her
children next to her quality Of sunshine
was probably her absolute rectitude, the
elevation of her whole tone, the com
plete unworldliness, so that no child of
hers ever heard her refer to any stand
ard but the highest With all this was
combined the conscientious accuracy in
affairs, the exquisite nicely in all house
hold details, which belong to the best
Of the traditions Of New England.
