GREETING S

each. Since November 1884 it has
been printed ON four pages of eight
columns to a page. The increase in
size will give $50 inches more for news
and advertising.
We nave long hoped that business
would warrant the enlargement, but
not until the past six months has the
increase of unsolicited advertising re-
quired expanded room We have been
also limited for space to print the local
news and many items have been reduc-
ed to the smallest mention. While
there has been murmurings of the small
amount of local news others have
thought that many items should not be
published.
Some are modest and do not desire
publicity, but in this age of social de-
mocracy and benevolent welfare all do
ings are of interest to your neighbor
as much as what your neighbor does is
of interest to you. Consequently all
our social welfares are for mutual good
and happiness and worthy of note.
Some have felt sighted in not having
seen mention of doings which are as
worthy of public note as items which
have been publ she'd. Many local hap
penings have not been published in the
past because of limited space, but more
so because they have not been brought
to the attention of the editor, who is
neither omnipresent, omnicient nor all
wise.
All who know of incidents worthy of
recording are appointed special reporters
to send the items to the RECORD. We.
learn Of many items, because we re-
ceiye post cards from persons who give
us the news. We appreciate such
greatly because of the interest shown in
their home paper. We hope that others
will feel free to help make the RECORD
a better local newspaper III its enlarged
form.
Those who have read the Penns
Grove RECORD since September 20,
1884, when we took charge know that
the editor has decided views on many
topics and have fearlessly expressed
them. We haYNyhined them by extern
readingAX subjects of public,
social, poIitit 4 and religious welfare.

1t has been our aim to tell the truth
with love-with love for The unselfsh
truth rather than for those who may be
in error. If We are in error we wish to
learn the truth.
federation of differences in opinion
on political, religious and social topicsis
one of the principles which is making
America such a great success as a dem
ocratic country to live in. The same
will make the local community great.
We hope whatever opinion may be
published that may be different from
that of the reader should not hinder
any person from taking the RECORD
for the public and local information il
contains in which all good citizens are
interested as a social community.
Many good people have moved into
Penns Grove and vicinity within the
past year.. They hope to become per-
manent citizens AS such they should
take an interest in all our public and
social functions. The quickest way to
beco me mutually acquainted and to be
come a part of the social community is
thru reading the local newspaper
Centering our minds and uniting in
action on all subjects of local mutual
welfare, and holding respect for differ
ences of opinion where We disagree,
will increase our 4~lappiness and pros
perity as a local community.
Therefore, we invite a wider support
for the RECORD in its enlarged form
in our endeavor to make it a live local
newspaper.
Increasing the size Of the RECORD
also each issue will cost much more to
publish. We hope the increase patron
age from new subscribers and adver-
Using will meet this, because the sub
scription price will remain 81 a year as
heretofore.
