Ilje il( Coiiiiht aJbfiqSv. JOHN O. MALI, EDITOR ft r. moork, H BLisnm. FRoruiKToa. THUKSDAY: Feln-nary Slst, 1807. I? Tit Ot H IMTKO.VS. The present nuiuhcr of tho -lifrrcnfc completes its s'ntli volume, nnd ns we close tlio first volume with whieh we linve Wen connected it is not inappropri ate, that wo should take a glance back ward at what wo have Juno, as well ns a glance forward at what is jot to do. Of the trials iiiid.troubles incident to the publication of a cottntiy newspaper, we propose to t-ay nothing. They can only be appreciated by those who have mifl'erod them. Suffice it to say, that the publicatiou of even so unpretending 11 paper as ours, has proved no sincewc. Of our success financially wo can make no boast. We are out of pocket bv tho experiment but not disheartened. The practical results we have attained in other respects, affords a gratification whi:h amply repays our loss of money. Those results, are principally : 1. We have made the Elk Allocate a regular weekly paper in fact as well as in name. 2. We have won for it the confidence of our people and 'argely increased the number of subscribers and rcadeis. 3. "Wo have rocrived a large increase of advertising patronage from the business portion of the county. 4. We have by the addition of a fine press and a large assortment ol new jr.b type and material established a job office which is to say the least no discredit to the county. 5. Last but no least, tho amouut of original matter of merit which has appeared in the columns ot the Advocate, has been excelled by no paper of tho surrounding countries, while in point of literary mer it our original contributions have been creditable to the county and to the abili ty and culture of the writers. In speak, in!; thus highly of our original matter it will of course be understood that we do not include or have any reference to the writing-, of the editor or the publisher. Nor has our political mission proved a failure. While every other county in the State almost, yielded more or less to the violence of radicalism, ours stood rrcct, laithful among tho faithless, pro claiming in majorities larger than ever "before, her devotion to constitutional liber.'y. IV the future we promise our best energies towards the impiovenient of our paper in every respect, and to this end we ask assistance and substantial encouragement of our friends. We have Ijcen indulging the here that we might toon enlarge our paper. A new press is necessary to such enlargement. Our business does not justify its purchase yet, but by prompt uad careful iittctiii.m to our business, we hope to merit a sufi cicnt patronage in the year to come, to secure the object of our hopes. We do not feel our duty done in this ertiele without giving tho credit of our huccess in a great measure to Mr. Moore our publisher. It is not necessary to say to the people of this county that the other business ot the nominal editor demands all his attention and prevents him from bestouing much time upon ihe Advocate. Cpou Mr. Moore has devolved entirely the local department and almost entirely the supervision of the whole paper. The Hand of Hope. We perform one of tho most pleasant duties of our life in expressing in this article our emphatic approval ct the no. ble resolutions to which some of the boys of Ridgway have pledged their words ami honors. To abstain from profaue swearing and the use of intoxi cating drinks is to avoid two of the meanest, most degrading and most ines. curable weed that disgrace humanity. We are not surprised that our boys hhould bo shocked and disgusted at the 1.1,;.. .mis laniiuu"e which so cou- ttauti,- deliios tho mouths of so many of our people, or that they should thus ear ly seek to shun the intoxicating cup v. nose terrible powers, are evidence by the living wrecks among us. but we arc more than ,' gratified, at the determina tion and unanimity displayed in the or ganizati. u of The Baud of Hope.
