RINO OUT THE OLD

Hko to cxptess to our friends and patronsWeek by wcok tho Herald has made
Its visits Into tho homes of tho pooplo
and tho aim of tho editor and publisher
hns been to sond as much sunshino with
it ns was possible This papor has not
striven to bo a journal of highor literature
nor an emissary of tho fino arts
but it docs claim to havo been sinccro
In its appeal to reach tho hearts of tho
pooplo in n social nnd business like way
Neither has the itcrald attempted to
assume tho placo of a g ynt dally in reporting
tho curront events but It has
striven to bo tho cnrrlcr of a budget
of news gathorod for tho pnrposo of
upbuilding nnd benefitting tho town
and county in which It Is published
In thus fulfilling our duty ns a carrier
of local news tho payor hns tried to
bo Impartial nnd to faithfully roport
nil items of interest which enmo to
our nttcntlon It has been a pleasuro
to toll of good newsAf tho visits of
our people nnd of their frlonds of so
clnl functions of marriages nnd of
births But it has been with feelings
of sadness that vq havo told of sickness
nnd have recorded the deaths of
our friends and fellowcitizens
In all our efforts to mako a well
rounded local newspaper anil ono with
real human interest wo wis to acknowledge
tho valued help of our Tujin
friends nnd tho splendid nullities ex
cmpljficd by our correspondents nt Happy
