wiling TO live and let live,' and are fully
convinced that. under existing circum-
stances, we can as we'll afford to publish

for Five Dollars. Ours is The oldest
paper in the State. Its and has always
been identified with The interests OF this
Town. The first number was issued 81
years ago-since which time our quiet
village has undergone many, very many,
changes in population. Very few Of the
early patrons Of this paper are now liv.

md are TO US long since forgotten. while
many have been consigned TO their al
otted space in the neighboring grave
,ards-their names long since erased
rom our subscription list, and, in the
requent changes Of population, almosl
bllterated from the tablet OF our mem
ry. But amiI all The yicissitudes Of life

iizens, and hope by strict and untiring
'votion to the interests Of the commu
", to realize a continuance of that lib !,
al patronage, for which we sincerely
turn our thanks.
