sEMI-CENTENNIAL EDITION
The OskaiOOsa Herald Fifty Years
Old.

THE HERALD is preparing to issue
in the near future special historical,
and editorial edition in honor of the
5Oth anniversary of the paper which
will be descriptive of Oskaloosa's
manufacturing, commercial and pro-
fessional interests. The edition will
be sixteen or twenty pages and will
have circulation of twelve to if
teen thousand copies and will be a
credit alike to the paper and the cit
liens. The issue will be thoroughly
distributed and will serve as an eff
fective advertisement to the city, not
only as business center, but as a
manufacturing and residence city of
the better class. The descriptive
matter will be prepared by Mr.. and
Mrs. j. F. Sherman, experienced
specialists in this line of work, and
will be such as will conform strictly
to good taste. The aim will be to
give a commonsense write-up of the
city and its interests, from which all
fulsomeness and gush will be elm
mated. THE HERALD is not accus-
toned to do things by halves, and it
guarantees that the edition shall be
in point of number issued and char
acter of the descriptive matter pre-
cisely as Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman rep
resent it. Courtesies shown them
while here will be gratefully appre-
ciated by the paper and its pub
fishers.
