Small Paper Next Week. j The Chronicle comes to its read 1 ers one day earlier this week bo that the forcce will not have to work on Christmas day. It is cus tomary with all county newspapers to miss an issue during the Christ | in as holidays, but TJie 'Chronicle, having a number jDf jegal advertise ments, it is necessary for us to is sue our regular edition. However, the next issue of The Chronicle will i consist of only four pages in order; that the printers will have an op- | portunity to take a few days rest.! j Any advertising or news matter that ! I may bo left out will be attributed j to the fact that the whole force is not on duty. The Chronicle takes this opportu nity to wish all its readers a merry Christmas and a happy and pros perous year during nineteen four teen, and we also wish to thank most heartily those who have so liberally patronized this establish ment during the past years and we promise the same faithful service in the future that we have given in the past.
