Anniversary
The Daily Sun Is One Year Old
Today-Progress Most Sat-

The Daily Sun is one year old to-
day!
Don't seem possible that twelve
months have rolled around since the
first issue of The Daily Sun was fur
nished our citizens.
That we have had many hard
knocks and most severe rebuffs dur
ing the first year cannot be denied.
On the other hand, we have received
very liberal patronage from the
business men Of Greeneville, in the
face of the fact that they had never
before enjoyed or fully appreciated
just what a daily newspaper meant
to the town and community. We are
truly glad to be able to state upon
the close Of the first year that it is
our intention to continue the paper,
making many improvements at very
early date. With the continued as
sistance and good will of our peo-
pie, both of the town and county, we
earnestly believe that by the time we
round out another milestone with
The Daily Sun, you will be enjoying
a daily paper right here in Greene
vile that you will have just cause to
feel proud of.
We want to thank the business
men and citizens generally for the
very generous manner in which they
have rallied to our support We
hope to be able to repay them par
tally, at least, in our earnest effort to
make Greeneville bigger and better,
and what we may be able to do for
Greene county in general. Give us
your continued support--offer sug-
gestions any time you feel like it
You will find us ready and willing to
carry out any suggestion that may be
offered in the best way possible.
