JOHN F. MOultE, Einon.
TlinUHlJAY : COUNTIES.
Valedictory-
Although unanticipated tit tlio time,
our cuniicction with the Advocate AS
pnblibher close! with the last number.
Fincc that data the office has changed
hands, " from boss to devil," and it is
only by the indulgence of the new cdi.
tor and proprietor that we are permitted
to say good bye to those who have been
our patrons.
Our connection with the Advocate
cxtcuds over a number of years past, as
devil, bur nnd publisher, and wo desire
now to return our thanks to our liberal
nntrnns. whoso many kindnesses wo
i i
never can forget.
Should a future time require us to
appear before them again in a similar
yoilion, wo liopc that Umo antl naaca
experience will prepare us better to dc
Bcrvo the universal kindness we have
olwnys met. C. W. 1SARRETT.
To the M'eoptc of Elk County,
In r.ssuming the uolo control ot the
Aduoca:e,vie desire, at the start, to ask
the forbearance of our patrons for our
many imperfections, and to appeal to
every wcll.wisher of Elk county for
their support and encouragement. Wo
arc well aware of the many difficulties
to bo encountered, and without this as
sistance we cannot hope for success.
YVe intend to' publish a County Taper,
in the strictest sense of the word.
Whatever is for the boncfic or advance
nicnt of the prosperity of Elk county,
and her hardy aud honest people, will
secure our hearty support. Upon this
point we arc for Elk county against the
world.
In politics, its tone will be Democrat
ic. It would be impossible for us to
take any other side. In being a Demo
crat, we are in favor of the freedom of
tho Press ; and as long as there is but
one paper in the county, our columns
shall not be burthened with political
matter, and they shall at all times be
open to our political opponents for the
expression of their views, limited, ho7.
nvor. in r.rnrinrtion to OUT SpaOC.
With a full determination of making
every effort to publish such a paper ns
every citizen of tho county may be
proud of, we solicit tho earnest support
and kind indulgence of the public
Ilcdiilriis.
At last tho long dark night of gloom
over the prosperity of our country has
passed. On the 8th day of this month
tho people of Cvo great States of this
Union put their seal of condemnation
upon the courso pursued by Congress in
regard to the government of the South
cm States.
This is glorious. Not alono glorious
for the party which was successful, but
for tho whole people of our common
country. Glorious for tho reason that
a party which has ruled and almost
ruined the country for the past eight
years, has been started on its road to
political perdition.
Mos. Lincoln's Wardrobe. Just
now the nowspapers Lave a big time
over mis subject, we arc not among
those who think she has been misused
in regard to her financial affairs by the
admtrer3 of her lato husband. Mrs
Lincoln, by her own showing, has
yeuriy income 01 tfl.UU. JM0W We
know of hundreds of widows widows
of men who died while fighting face to
face with the enemy, who havo not the
pittance of teventcen dollars from the
government, and for tho lifo of us we
cannot sco wherein she k entitled to the
sympathy and support of the American
people more than those who have hard
ly the common necessities of life,
The itfli ocalc.
Our readers will doubtless notioo tha
wo iiavo decreased the sizo of the
Advocate. At the same time, however,
it is our intention, by keeping clear
numoug advertisers, to.givo as much
reading matter as formerly. Tho press
we are now using is a broken down con
ccrn, and was never calculated for print
ing a larger sized paper than tho Advo.
cale now is, and we have conclude
that we could print as acceptable
&ucet at mis sizQ.aa at tho old. A
soon, though, aa we aro ablo to
chase a new press, we will make
Advocate a soven column paper.
