Thk Lkp- afta was not established as an organ to promote the interests of any par ticular faction or enterprise. It has been independent and labored for the best interests of those who support it. In short, it has been a newspaper in all that the word implies, striving to promote the interests of its constitu ency. It has the largest bona-fide subscription list of any weekly paper in the state according to its age, and its advertisement columns do credit ! to the town. They show' the enter- i prise of the business men and the faith that foreign advertisers have in it as an advertising medium. Now we propose to make the new Leugkk the best weekly paper in the state.
