TWENTY-SECOND YEAR.
This issue of The Democrat
narks its entrance into tbe twen-
ty second year of its publication.
Twenty-one years ago tbe paper
weighed anchor and set sail on
tbe rough waters of a turbulent
journalistic sea. Rocked by
frequent storms of adversity, it
glided safely by every obstacle of
misfortune encountered, until it
long since reached the "port of
success" as a country weekly.
It is with inspiration and hearts
filled with hope that we face the
future through just at this time
and place, wo pause in retrospec-
tion.
"To the cherished haunts of the old time,
Our evo* are backward caat,
And a aweet voice calls through memorr'a halls,
To woo ub unto tho past."
Many of our first subscribers
and patrons—old and true friends
of the papor, have passed to tbe
other suie of the mystic river.
In memory's caskct for them a
tear is droppod as we change the
volume and number and start
upon a new section of time. Still
many of tne old charter subscrib-
ers live and remain on our list
who have never missed an issue.
The exhibition of such continuous
friendship is both a source of
inspiration and gratification, and
we shall strive harder than ever
to merit the support you have
given your favorite old family
paper. There are all told thir-
teen weeklies, two dailies and one
monthly paper published in va-
rious parts of our county. Of
this enterprising circle of publi-
cations which con:pare favorably,
with tbe best newspapers of their
class to be fouud in any state,
Tbe Democrat has the honor of
being the oldest, As the dean of
their number, we are proud of
their achievements and have
naught but the kindest fra-
ternal feelings for all. While
tbe numbe' may look ex-
cessive foi otic couuty yet such is
not tho ease when our area, deuse
population and natural resources
are considered There is a tieid
for each, broad and an.plo enough,
if prop.jrlv tilled, to yield the
necesTttiie-j ar.d seuie of the lux-
uries of life for all. The Demo-
crat desires to be a helpful factor
in every home as well as a source
of pleasure to each member ot
tbe family and contribute in its
humble way to the betterment of
mac's moral a well as his social
and material condition. To the
realization of thij hudablc ambi-
tion The D mocrat proprietors,
mechanical for~e and large staff
of correspondents are enlisted in
a common effort and look to tip
future with implicit faj>h and
confidence for continued/success.
