VOLUME 40.

With this issue volume 20 of the
Jasper COURIER is completed.
Many are the grave-stones of com
petitors it has looked upon since its
initial issue by the present publish
er was made in 1858, when Jasper
had but 500 population, one store
and six or eight saloons. Alas too,
many other grave-stones have been
erected in that time to the memory
OF respected citizens, until now not
over half dozen of those who were
in active life then in Jasper are to
be found among its residents.
A number Of people who encour-
aged and aided the young paper in
1858, ty subscribing for it, and Civ
ing it such work as they had, nc
CURED modest fortunes, and are
living in good enjoyment Of well
earned prosperity now, or have left
their heirs a good start in life. But
we realize that publisher OF a
country paper does well if he
"makes both ends meet financial
ly, though he is probably harder
worked than the merchant, manu-
facturer, lawyer or doctor. But for
all that, in looking back we have
the satisfaction Of knov':l 9 that the
COURIER has always been conducted
independently, for the public good,
as we saw it at the time, always
adhering politically to the Demo-
cratic polity that the majority mnst
rule, and endeavoring in its sphere
to make that majority an enlight-
ened one ,-cringing to no man, and
submitting to no clique's dictation.
1t has probably made some mis-
takes in 40 years. Is there any
body that has not? Let them 90.
1t has been gratified by retaining
many patrons during the entire 40
years Ct its publication, ard by re-
ceiving subscriptions from the sons
Of those who started in with its first
number. it has also been gratiiied
by the increase Of the Democratic
majority in the county from about
700 to about 1900, brought about
by giving every member of the party
a free and fair share in controlling
the party, and shaping its issues,
and by insisting that any candidate
making pledges as to policies be-
fore election, should carry them out
strictly after being elected. This is
an honest course, and any officer
who cannot follow it should resign,
and let the people vote on the ques-
ton again.
The above are reflections upon
looking back through forty years as
a country publisher, and realizing
that our pocket-book looks like an
elephant had tramped on it, and
our bank account is nil, ard that
No. | Of Vol. Al is good time to
subscribe for those who favor an
honest government, town, county,
state and nationality officers who
will look to the interests Of the Peo-
pie, instead Of their private pockets,
and whose bank accounts will at
least somewhat be governed by
their legal salaries. Only 81 per
year in advance now, or $1.50 upon
credit, payable during the year.
Give US your names, and let us
help you doing good.
