they claim will change the texture of
their hair or the color of their skin,
but We have always fatty refused
their offers. No kinkine or straight
enines, nor bleachine go in the
the Globe. We decided in the outset
that when the day arrived that we
would have to accept that class of adj
vertisements to continue publishing
our paper we would close up the of
flee. There are other concerns that
we have requested not to offer us
their advertisements, as we did not
believe the people would be benefited
by reading them. Most of them ap-
preciated our stand and none would
compel us to take their business.
This attitude on the part of these
parties who would not press upon us
what we did not want and the sup
port we have received from the peo-
pie and the leading merchants is suf-
ficient proof to us that our policy has
met their approval.
Again, we realized in the beginning
that the masses had long since
learned the difference between pat
ent and original matter in news
paper, and decided that we would
use only original matter. That de-
cisiOn has been adhered to to the let
ter, not one word of patent matter
having appeared in our col INNS the
three years we have been issuing the
paper We have received fattering
compliments from all parts of the
country on the general appearance of
The Nashville Globe, which is further
evidence that We are on the right
track.
1t is a true saying that the race is
not to the swift nor the strong. but
to him who endures to the end We
start out this year, therefore, with
new determination to push on in our
feeble efforts to help the people.
True, one of our number has been
forced to absent himself from the
city, but we hope it Will be for only
short period. We know he is lone
some on mailing nights with nothing
to interfere with his engagements.
We realize that there is much to be
done, and We are anxious to do all we
can that will be of help to the peo-
pie. We will forget the many hours
we have burned the midnight oil, and
the many sacrifices we have made, and
look only to the future which presents
us great promise of success. The
day has come when the people look
to the Globe for the news of the
hour; they have come to reaIze that
our aim is to do good to all and harm
to none; that we have no ak to
grind, and that we are at all times
working for the best interest of all.
We are striving to build up and when
any man or set of men start out to
accomplish something .eommendable
we herald it to the world and predict
success. We presume that the party
or parties counted the cost before
hand, leaving the profits to be count
ed afterwards, and will hustle with
only one thing in mind, and that is,
IL | keep pegging away good results
will inevitably follow. If he does
happen to fail we count him with the
builders on sand foundations, and go
on looking for another fellow who is
trying to get up, and give him a
shove up the hill, and if our word
would be law every new concern
would have capital sufficient to run
on twelve months after one days
business, but our business is to boost
| and the other fellows husiness is m
stay where we put him if he can.
| see no cause why we should be
otherwise than optimistic as to our
future success. There is plenty to
do, and We have the means to do
with, therefore let us continue to
work and our reward is sure.
Yours truly,
