During the five years of Its exlstnnee The Star has endeavored to give those who subscribe and pay for tho paper, th;:so who subscribe and don't pay, and those who borrow tho paper from their neighbors, all tho ocal news. Wo have tried to use all peoplo fair In giving tho news of the town. Wo have published Items that made people cross, and, of course, we are usually Informed of our meanness for so doing, but If we say something nice about people It Is very seldom we hear anything about that. We have no desire to make enemies, It Is not our nature so to do, but whilo attempting to run a newspaper we exa-ct to give tho news, and peoplo who don't want to see their names In print when they have broken the law or raised the duce In general, hail better consider the matter before band and not do the things that hey object to having appear In the newspaper. We thank those who have given us their subscriptions and support in the past and hotie to be able to merit a con- imiance of the same in the future, and n the mean time keep TlIK STAR up with the times and by so doing increase the circulation and advertising patron age of the paper. We don't want to ilow our own horn, and will only ask those who are not already subscribers to examine the paper and If they think it is worth the subscription price asked to subscrilie, and If not worth tho money then don't take It.

However, there seems to be grounds for tho belief that tho company means business this timo. The sale of $.1,000,000 bonds by tho B , R. & P. Co. recently would strengthen the belief that they contemplate new construction or extensive repairs.
