ANNOUNCEM EMIT.
(WaterVille Maid.

This number of the WaterVille Even
ing Mail is the last to be issued by the
present owners ana under the present
name Beginning tomorrow, Tuesday,
the Mail changes from an evening to a
morning edition ana is merged with
and assumes the name of the Daily
Kennebec Journal
This change was deemed necessary
in order to serve satisfactorily our
subscribers and advertisers who de
manded an enlarged and other wise
improved daily paper, as well as a
morning instead of an evening edition.
1t was impossible for us to meet thi.;
need in Improvements with our pres
ent mechanical equipment, while the
expenditure of many thousands of
dollars for such equipment would not
be warranted in the face of a lavish
and eXtravagant competition. The
substitution Of the Daily kennebec
Journal for the Waterville Evening
Mail will more than satisfy every de-
mand of our patrons, and it is, there
fore, pleasure and qualification to us
to be able to make the announcement
Of the change today.
In the Tuesdays issue of the Jour-
nal further announcement in connec-
ton with the change will be made,
they being in substance that the Jour-
nal will devote special attention to
this particular part of its statewide
field by giving local news and ad-
vertising service which will commend
itself to its patrons. and further that
Mr.. Herbert c. Libby, formerly the
a ,f Ia fofl -,
charge of the interests of the Journal
in Waterville, Fairfield, and Oakland,
and will superintend the news as well
as the advertising and subscription
service.
The former owners Of the Mail wish
to express their thanks to all those
who have in any way contributed in
the past to the success of the Mail,
and to urge that the same loyal sup
port be given to the new management.
They desire to remind their subscrib-
crS that a strong aggressive paper like
the journal which has for over three
quarters of a century circulated among
our people and advocated consistently
and per"iStentlY the principles of the
Republican party should have the sup
port of at least all Republicans.
But quite aside from any political
reasons for support is that of an UNI
surpassed news service. 1t should be
understood that the journal is not m
