REPUBLICAN NEWS ITEM,
Laporte Pa.,
Volume Number Three.
With this issue the NEWS ITEM enters
upon its third volume.—We are two years
old to-day, and we think we are a lusty
child. It is with pleasure that we look
back on the past two years and view the
rocks over which we scrambled, we are
thankful that we are living. Some of
these two years journey was along pleas
ant paths, and some lay along ugly roads,
and during these years we have labored
hard to make the paper what it is to-day,
one of the best local newspapers in this
part of the State. During the two years
we have lived we have done what we
could for Laporte and the county. In
trying to do so we may have said things
that seemed to others to be against their
ideas; but you know"to err is human; to
forgive is divine." So we forgive those
who err and we hope to be forgiven
for our errors.
The circulation has grown, the jobbing
patronage has increased, and the plant
has been greatly improved from time to
time. This has all been accomplished by
untiring and constant perseverance and
grit We have met many reverses, but
undaunted we came out right side up, and
now have the business on a fair road to
prospeiity.
Our many patrons and friends have
stood by us in all our trials, and their
words of encouragement have been like
pearls. To some we are indebted for
many kindnesses that will be hard to re
pay-
The NEWS ITEM as in the past, will
continue to give the local news and give
to its readers clean pages—a paper that
can be read by all members of the family
without offence to anyone.
We start with volume three tinder pro
pitious circumstances, considering the
depressed times with the country involved
in war and we hope to improve the paper
during the next year, as business advances
and delinquent subscribers do their duty—
pay the printer.
We thank our friends for the generous
patronage extended to us during our ex
istance and hope to merit a continuance
of the same in the future.
TO 01'R SUBSCRIBERS.
The subscriptions of a large number of
persons who are at present receiving the
NEWS ITEM have been due for a long time
dating from the first issue, and we would
request of such persons an early remit
tance. as we are in need of ready money
to meet our obligations. The individual
subscriber is apt to forget that the pub
lisher of a newspaper is at a constant
cash expense for labor, material, etc. in
order lo furnish a readable paper, and
that in sending the paper to delinquent
subscribers he is actually advancing to
him each week a certain amount of cnsli,
that he may enjoy the pleasure of a news
paper. In view of these facts, we ask
each subscriber who is in arrears to remit
as soon as possible.
OUR ADVERTISERS.
It is with satisfaction and pride that we
call attention to our advertising columns
this week. Our advertisers include the
most careful and conservative business
men in the county—men who earnestly
consider the character of the newspaper
through which they appeal for patronage.
We have a large number of the represen
tative merchants advertising with us at
present and the steady and healthy in
crease of their patronage and support is a
just cause for hearty congratulation.
There is no feature of a first class country
newspaper that is so indicative of its
character as the columns devoted to ad
vertisements. Old and conservative
advertisers make the presentation of their
wares to the public and intelligent study.
In selecting the medium of advertising
they investigate the character of both the
paper and its readers and apportion their
patronage according to the result of such
investigation. Hence it is that the NEWS
ITEM is now happy in the knowledge that
it has more than half the amount of ad
vertising given to some other papers
whose years of existance are more num
erous than our weeks, and which were
founded before many of the News I Ten
readers were born.
It is noticeable that there are a few
professional patriots who have not yet
left to mingle with the jam at the recruit
ing office, and two months ago they could
not be made to keep still a minute.
