LOCAL ROUNDUP.

VOLUME NINE.
With this issue of the Williston
Graphic begins the ninth year of it's
existence in this thriving and progren-
sive little city. Eight years ago we es-
tablished ourself here when Williston
was composed mostly of log buildings
with population of not to exceed 25O
people The earlier part of our career
here was struggle to gain foothold in
the country, and by the kind and liberal
support of the people and the few bust
'nessmen with which Williston has been
blessed, The Graphic has steadily grown
until it has reached position in thejour-
'nalistic field with a circulation second to
no other newspaper In northwestern
North Dakota. Thanking our patrons
for past favors, the Graphic will continue
in its conservative course and hopes to
receive still larger and more substan-
tial support from those having the well
fare of Williams county at heart.
