The People’s Friend.
Mount Joy is the only place in
big Lancaster county, that has so
valuable a bureau of information in
the shape of a newspaper at 50 cents
per annum. The Bulletin this week
contains 14 columns of reading mat-
ter and the same amount of adver-
tising. It is the intention to make
the Bulletin a true representative of
Mount Joy and her interests, and it
is quite gratifying to the manage-
ment to know that it is receiving the
hearty co-operation of all. It has
never been necessary to force the
paper into giving its patrons the
very best service possible, for the
reason that we always believe that
nothing is too good for Mount Joy
and its people, and have always act.
ed upon this line. The public has
long ago realized this fact, and tc
that can be attributed in a large
measure their appreciation of our
efforts.
