Of readers. Hence, the editor
and the advertiser, whose inter

to the reader the best part of
their paper, and this is exactly
what the Inter-O Ocean andsits ad

the hope that the readers will

we shall mention at this time
is our desire to establish a
more thorough local news SER

to the events local to this city,
proper, but also to the news of
the surrounding rural districts
and smaller towns, in each of

will furnish us with the current
events from his locality each

furnishing stamps and the nee
essary stationery, and we shall
be pleased to hear from any one
whose home community is not
yet represented in these columns.
We shall endeavor to properly
appreciate and reward such help
from friends and send the Inter
Ocean free to all our correspon-

can greatly aid us in making the
lnter-Ocean more interesting
and more worthy of the title of

harmoniously, and we shall be
rewarded by having a good

The time is now ripe for all Of
the newspapers in the state to
