We present to our readers this
week the first edition from our new
eight-column press. For sometime
past our space for general news has
been somewhat limited, and the in
creasing demand for advertising
room has necessitated the buying of
a larger press. While an eight-col-
umn paper cannot begin to hold a
thousandth part of what the editor
knows, to say nothing of the pub
Usher, nevertheless, it gives them
both more room in which to give to
the public some of the valuable in
formation which they keep constant.

meantime it will be content to
survey its sudden growth with self
gratifying complacency, and to re-
port everything as ii happens, from
an imperialistic edict of Mark Hanna
