Another milestone passed
With this issue the Banner begins
its Thirty-eighth volume.
On Friday, July ], 1859, the Ban
ner was first issued---almost forty
years ago. Who dared to think at
that time that the Banner forty years
later would be thing ma.erial---or
even thought Of for that matter---and
that its beardless editor would still
be at his post. We did not.
But aside from that, the Banner
still lives, fourishes and cherishes
the memory of past that we hope
has not been without its good work
and influence. Even if we have not
done at all times all that we would
liked to have done, we have done the
best We could--always trying to be
consistent, true to our country and
our friends, and truthful. How near
we have come to our goal is not for
rs, but our readers, to say.
The Banners life has been one of
many ups and downs, but thanks to
its liberal patrons and stead.fast
friends, not all dozens.
Many Of its friends of long ago
have ended their life-work. Many
iondly cherished ties and associations
Of that long ago have 'gone out with
tho tide" and in vain may we look
for many familiar faces of that dear
Song ago." or sigh "for the touch of
. vanished hand" Time flies, and
behind the years that have come and
gone since the birth of the Banner
lay governments, principalities and
kingdoms and empires that have
waxed into majestic splendor and
waned again into oblivion.
Yet, what reeks the reader of all
this1 The Banner, although it has
outlived the allotted life of country
newspaper, has not, we trust, outlived
it's usefulness. With an unfaltering
faith its ambition in the years to come
will be to labor, if possible, with even
adeeper devotion, for all that is true
and lofty and noble.
We think our patrons for their
liberal patronage in the past, and
hope to merit a continuance of the
same in the future.
