THE SOUTHERN PINES FREE
PRESS.
A new candidate for public favor
and patronage in the journalistic
world is the Southern Pines Free
Press. 1t is an eight column weekly,
and most creditable publication in
every way Mr.. f. d. Oslin is editor
and proprietor, and Mr.. c. NJ. Will
liams is local editor. Mr.. Oslin is
not unknown in North Carolina news
paper circles. He was at one time
engaged in newspaper work in War
renton, but for several years has
been living in Florida, where his tai
ents have been similarly employed,
he being at present editor of the Mel
bourne Times. But like many others
who have gone out from our borders
Mr.. Oslin's thoughts have ever turned
North Carolinaward, and following
the bent of his inclination he con-
cluded to come back and cast in his
fortunes with the people of the Old
North State.
A tiattering offer having been made
him Mr.. Oslin decided to locate at
Southern Pines, a fact upon which
the people of that place have cause
for congratulation. Southern Pines
is more than a health resort It is
live, progressive, prosperous town
not only with future but present,
and if the enterprise is sustained in
the manner it deserves to be such a
newspaper as The Free Press can be
made vehicle Of vast good to the
community.
Mr.. Williams, the local editor, but
recently came to North Carolina from
Boston, being drawn to Southern
Pines on account of it's mild climate
and healthfulness. He is bright
young man and his work shows that
he possesses the true newspaper in
stinct. He has been a frequent con-
tributor to Boston and other neWspa-
pers and magazines and takes hold
Of the Faber with a familiar touch.
Readiness in handling the editorial
scissors and paste pot will come with
For the present the paper is being
printed away from home-until it's
own plant can be installed sickness
having detained Mr.. Oslin in Florida
beyond his expectation. AS to the
merits of The Free Press
we will let Mr.. Williams speak for
not that we are particularly
DESTROYS for our readers to see his
mplimentary reference to ourself,
but that they may understand how,
having a care about other things, we
fall back on their kind indulgence
for any shortcomings the GOLD LEAF
may suffer from in the mean. That |
is all and here's the article referred to:
We desire to make a public an
nouncement OF our gratitude to the |
gentleman who has the mechanical |
work OF The FREE PRESS in hand for |
The present-Mr. Thad r. Manni, g,
of Henderson, the publisher and |
editor of the Geld Leaf, of that town.
10 him we owe the neat appearance,
clean print, and attractive makeup of

lumber especially-and we must
admit tina, we were surprised, as we'll

But it was to be expected. Mr..

md tried experience, and also prac-
lcal printer of high order of merit.
His talent is widely known in this
State, and on, of it. His paper, the
IoM Leaf, is model of Topographic
al excellence, and its contents are no
ess praisewor;hy.
Mr.. Manning deserves our hear,iest
hanks, and we take this opportunity
