What Oiir NclhlMni Say of the "Prr.'
(From tho Dispatch, Oct. 4.)
The press for the new newspaper
to lie started in this town arrived
last week and has lieen put in posi
tion over Brown & Armstrong's
store. The jmper will bo a seven
column folio and issued on Fridays,
The paper will be known as the
Pikk County Press and, of course,
Republican in politics. It will be
edited and managed by J. H. Van
Etten. About thirty years ago Dr.
Edward Holiday, since deceased,
hoping to furnish the Republicans
of Pike county with a impcr devoted
to Protection principles, started the
Northern Eagle in Milford, but
though well edited and managed, it
had only a brief existence.
(From Wnync Citizen, Nov. 7th.)
The Pike County Press is the
name of a Republican paper in our
neighlwring county ,the first number
of which appeared last week. It is
under the management of J. H. Van
Etten, a well-known memlier of the
Pike county liar. Its appearance is
highly creditable j its news depart
ment comprehensive j and its edi
torial columns exhibit marked nbil
ity and an elevated tone, and define
the position and puriiose of the
paper with clearness and force. It
is calculated to do excellent work in
the dissemination of Republican
principles among the yeomanry of
Pike.
(Kiiston Free Press, Nov. 8th.)
We have received the first issue
of the Pike County Press, published
at Milford by J. II . Van Etten, a
well-known lawyer of that place.
It is, we believe, the first Republican
paper ever printed in that county,
and we trust that it will find the
field so profitable that it will grow
and increase in influence and power.
Tho Pike County Press is in gxxl
hands and has mode a good start.
(From Sussex Register, Nov. (Ith)
We have received the first num
ber of tho Pike County Press, pub
lished at Milfonl, Pa., by J. H. Van
Etten. It has a bright apjiearance,
and, though the field dtxs not look
promising to us, yet we give the
venture our best wishes.
(Monroe Democrat, Nov. 7th.)
The first issue of the Pike County
Press is before the public. A copy
reaching our office and an inspection
of this initial numlier indicates that
the Republicans of that county will
now have u mouth price creditable
to them, and full of information
both local and general.
(Milfonl Dispatch, Nov. 7.
The Pike County Press made lis
first apjiearance on Friday last with
J. H. Van Etten as editor. The
initial number is well filled with lo
cal and general news and is a credit
to its publisher. The Press will be
issued weekly.
(From Stroiidslmrgh Tlmcs.Nov. 7th.)
A copy of the first issue of the
Pike County Press has reached this
office. It is edited and published
by J. H. Van Etten, of Milfonl, and
is a seven-column folio, printed
in good, clear type on an excellent
quality of piper. From the matter
contained in its columns in the in
itial number it shows that Editor
Van Etten has the right stuff in
him for a newspaper man and the
Republican residents of Pike county
have a paper that they may well lie
proud of.
(From Hawley Times, Nov. 8th.)
The Pike County Press edited by
J. H. Van Etten at Milford, Pike
county, Pa., started its career last
Friday with many indications for
the success we heartily wish it.
(From tho JeftVrsolilun, Nov. 7th.)
The Pikk County Press is the
name of the new paper started at
Milfonl, Pike county, Pa. J. H.
Van Etten, Esq., editor. The Press
will be Republican in politics and is
issued every Friday, it is four pages,
seven columns to the page. It pre
sents a neat appearance and it con
tained a vast amount of news for
the first issue. Editor Van Etten in
his salutatory says, " in morals it
should be cliaste, in virtue above
suspicion, in politics clean, and in
religion devoutly respectful." With
these and many other promises, we
do not see why, and hope it will
soon lie, on the way to prosperity
and permanently settled in that
famous old town.
(From Port JunU Gazette, Nov. 9th.)
We are just in receipt of the first
number of the Pike County Press,
of Milford, Pa., edited and published
by J. H. Van Etten, Esq., of that
village. The first number is a very
creditable production and must be
very satisfactory to the editor. The
Press is Republican in politics and
in news matters, the editor states,
" it will be truthful, cliaste and
pure." The attractive head was de
signed by Lundelius, the artist of
this village. We take pleasure in
congratulating Mr. Van Etten on
the general excellence of his first
number as a whole and heartily
wish him abundant success in his
venture.
What Our Old Friends Say of the "Prem."
Di'M'oi'E, Iowa,, Nov. B, 195.
My Dear Van : I received Vol. 1.
No. 1 of the Pike Cotis ry Press and
sat down last night and nnd it
through. It evidently" comes from
the hand of a master. It receives
my biggest blessing and hopo tlint
it will prove a great success. Pike
county will welcome its educating
influence. It may not lie able to
transform the "dyed in the wool
Democrats " to enlightened Repub
licans, but salvation must come to
the younger doss. You recollect
that Jonah went down to Niiwveh
and made a great success of it and
transformed the king into a fairly
good fellow. Although I am of the
opinion that it would hike more
grace to transform the Pike county
Democrats into goml Republicans
than it did to change the Ninevitcs
into fairly goodChristions ; yet with
this example and a numlier of others
to which I might refer, you need
not have any fear. Ixmg may the
Pike County Press wave, and its
editor prosper.
As ever yours,
