The property is valuable, well

A sinking fund is much needed
with which to pay the indebted

Just About Ourselves.

THE AMERICAN with this issue be-
gins its forty seventh year. In spite
of its years, its aim is ever to cover
its special field in the best possible
manner
1t is not only the ''best'' county
paper, the ''leadingn county paper,
but the "only county paper" and as
such it is greeted every week by a
larger number of subscribers in city,
county and nation than greets any
other paper published in Hancock
county.
THE AMERICANS popularity is in no
small degree due to the admirable
work of its large and faithful corps of
county correspondents, and to them
we gratefully acknowledge our in
debtedness.
Our efforts to maintain the high
standard set for the paper by its
founder and his successors have been
rewarded during the past year by the
addition to its list of many new sub
scribers.
To old subscribers and new we
heartily extend the compliments of
the season, and wish all prosperous
and Happy New Year!
