THAT MACHINE.

lNankS Dc, IIiat Hi@SAhS oo0S
which we have been writing 80 much
and for which we have been looking
80 long, has at last arrived, and
through the efforts of Mr.. Jas. l..
Aull, the manager, and with the as
sistance of Mr.. J. M. Ogilvie and Mr..
Fred Rodelsperger and others, it
has been put in place and the actual
work of composition begun. 1t ar
rived Friday noon and we were set
ting type Saturday afternoon. OF
course there are certain adjustments
which have to be got in order before
we can safely say that we are get
ting production. 1t is beauty, the
latest in the art of typesetting from
the great Mergenthaler factory.
Come in and see us and take look
at it.
The first copy set for the publf-
cation is the editorial which was
written for the last issue, "Will En-
terrain the Visitors" and that being
interpreted means that we have ded-
icated this machine to the education
al uplift of the community and this
county, have dedicated it to hospi-
tally and good will and good cheer,
have dedicated It to unselfish service
Of the people of this county and
State, that it is dedicated to the CO.
operation with all the people who
are working for the betterme1t OF
mankind everywhere, that it shall
produce that which is broad and far
removed from petty strife and small
prejudice. Now, kind friends, we
ask YOU to co-labor with us and let
us see If we can do big things for
this county and our State, and set
in cotton those influences for good
which shall go on down the ages.
Let us forget our little differences
if we had any and make the effort
to. do big things. There are big prob
lens to be solved and we can not
accomplish much in their solution
by harboring little spiteful and mean
iealousies and envies in our bosoms.
Throw off that old selfish cloak and
stretch out your hand to help those
who are struggling to do something
and to be something worth while.
Our correspondents need not now
! be afraid to send US the news and
, we will try to print it while it is
news. If we do not we will try to
find out the reason why. This ma
chine cost $1,000 end it should be
able to do most anything toward
the making Of small country week
,, ly newspaper. Now n big Offices OF
course they have 'em by the doz-
en-, but for us this is a pretty big
thing and we are just as proud Of it
as we can be, and we are going to
do our best to keep the hopper full
of something that will do to print
And we hope that our friends will
tell us Of the happenings that are
worth while and that they will send
in or phone anything that is real
news. We are always glad to get
! It. II you are doing something that
is really worth while it may help
some one else to do something.
A country paper is very different
from a big daily. Here you know
! the editor and all the people who
make the paper and you feel per-
sonal interest in what is said and
printed more than you do in what
you read in the big dailies. We ex-
pect to handle some general and
State news of course, but our main
efforts shall be directed to the better
ment and the upbuilding of this com,
munity, to make in reality a county
newspaper with such reflections and
observations and criticisms as the ed
itor may feel that he should make
and we hope always to have proper
and due regard for the rights and
opinions of the other fellow. We
shall preach the doctrine of a!truism
as we may be able.
We have several hobbies, we are
frank enough to admit, and we may
ride. them a little bit too much at
times, but we are going to ride
them until we get somewhere. One
of them is the split log drag and bet
ter roads. Another is the schools
of the county, the grammar schools
and the high schools. If any one
happens not to be with US in these
matters we are going to make the
