News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1901-10-23
VOLUME TWENTY-0NE.

ZENenterS upon us IWenCY-HTSI year.
The Vermont Citizen, which was es-
tablished in 1872, and the Lamoille |
News, established in 1887, were con-
solidated in 1881, and for twenty
years the News AND CITIZEN has been
under the management of its present
editor.
We haven't time or space to dwell
at length upon the work of the News
AND CITIZEN for the past twenty
years; sufficient to say, however,
that during that entire period it has
been strictly a Lamoille County
~ewspaper. Its aim has been to ad-
vance the best interests of Lamoille
County, to advocate that which
would build up and bring the several
communities in the county into
prominence. To enumerate how far
we have succeeded in that direction,
might be egotistical; but the fact
that our subscription list is to-day
the best paid-in-advance list in the
history of the paper leads us to be-
iieve that our efforts have been
appreciated and that the News AND
CITIZEN is looked upon as the advo-
cate of every good thing pertaining
TO the best interests of Spunky La
mobile"
We do not overlook the fact that
to a large extent the success of this
paper is due to the hearty support
given all these years by the people of
this county. 1t has received a liberal
advertising patronage and it has
been we'll patronized in Its job de-
partments-two very necessary aids
to the welfare of any newspaper.
Besides this, encouragement, by per-
sonal interview and by letter, has
come to US from representative men
in the county as we'll as from many
who have gone out into the world,
all speaking well of the paper and its
management,
Ithas been our aim and effort all
this time to give the people local
paper to which they could point to
with pride and which would repre-
sent the feelings of the entire county.
We would be ungrateful to wor-
thy constituency did we not express
our appreciation of the confidence
and support they have given us. 1t
is by their help that we have been en-
abled to make the paper what it is.
AS to the future we make no rash
promises. We shall endeavor as ir
the past to give the people a clean
live county paper, well filled with
locals and the general news. The
News AND CITIZEN is here to stay. Il
is prominent factor in all impor
tant county matters and we trust its
weekly visit will not only be contin
ued in the homes of its old-tim,
friends, but that many new names
may be added to our list.
Wishing contpued happiness ant
prosperity among all the member
of the News AND CITIZENS large lis
of patrons, and with the best inter
ests of all parts of dear old Lamoill
first, last and all the time in GU
mind, we are yours for continue
prosperity.

Very sensible; there is just such
thing as too much newspaper.
