what firmer tone than on the day before.
A Fair Exchange.
Those subscribers to THE ENQUIRER
who are constantly being annoyed with
propositions from neighbors desiring to
exchange other papers for it, should, to
insure an even trade, insist that the other

that does not contain as much news as
either issue, gets much the best OF the
bargain.
