On September LIST The TINES wa
purchased by The GREENvILLE TIME
PRINTING ANDPUBLIsHING COMPANY
aud will hereafter be controlled en-
tirely by such committees aud BoaI d.
OF Directors as may be appointed 10y
them.
The company is duly Incorporated
uuder the laws OF Mississippi, aud
consists, at present, of thirty one stock
holders, all of whom are men wei
known in the city and county. The
personnel of the company is Suffi,
oient guarantee of it's claim TO public
confidence aud carries with it the as.
Surrance that the conduct aud man.
Ggement Of the paper will be main.
tAlnod on the best business principles
aud that its efforts will be directed
SteAdfsstly TO the furtheranco of tho
Interests Of the city and district The
paper will continue TO be under the
same editorial management, and the
earnest effort of both editorial and
business departments will be devoted
TO making it mirror for the reflect
ion Of the best life and thought of the
community.
Recognizing the fact that the inter.
ssts Of its patrons can best be sub.
served by advertising the agricultural
aud industrial resources Of the Delta
and of GreenVille, and using what
power II may possess for their de-
Tense aud encouragement, the TINES
will continue to devote Its efforts
mainly TO this object. In this con-
nection the problem of river control
and protection of the district FROM
overflow is of the first Importance, and
will, as in the past, receive the Stten-
ton demanded by a subject SO full of
vital interest to the welfare of the coun-
try. Politically the character Of the
paper will be unchanged. Adherence to
sound Democratic principles has been
its maltersble rule OF conduct. 1t has
never suffered itself to be led into ex-
tremes, but has been content 10 main
tain an mistaken position upon such
political ground as 1t deemed best and |
safest. Its treatment of such questions
IS may arise will be decided, but con-
sentative; avoiding, as far as possible,
the stirring up of faotional differences
which can have no good result in a
community in which the interests of
all arise from the same sources and
seek the same ends.
When occasion requires, the TINES
Will express itself fearlesSly on nation
al, state, or municipal matters, but al
W avs with the intent of exposing fall
lacies, rebuking evils, and serving
what 1t conCeiyes to be the beet and
highest interests. It's utterances can
be depended upon as voiclng the SEN
tIment of that class of citizens who are
slways foremost in promoting the
welfare aud Improvement of the COM
munity, and TO whom it naturally
looks for example and leadership.
The TINES has been an insti-
tuition of Greenville during almost
the entire lifetime of the city. {
1t is subject of deep qualification
to the company to know that the pa
per is regarded, on this account, with
p ocular interest by many. 1t has en- '
joyed the unSwerving support and }
fr iendship of its patrons during many q
y ears of Vissitudes, and commences q
ne W epoch in Its life full of hope and !;
con fidence in the continuation of that '
% TEEN aud, in the personality of it's /
owners and directors, as we'll as in Its
Ipirit aud utterancCs, will be repre-. :
