This is not mere (,,11- . : ' 1,.. hm! ihmnv of men who have made this matter a life study. The people are judged as much by the advertising columns of their paper as by the reading matter it may contain. Thk liffii.Kii had worked long and diligently for the interests of this town and county and has striven faithfully to give them a representative paper; one to which they could point with pride. The scores of appreciative notices, which we . have received I from our generous contemporaries in tho past testify as to how well , wc have performed this mission. Wc take pleasure in thanking our many patrons for their generous patronage in the two years past. In tlie way of subscribers sub-scribers for The Bi'gi.eu, the people of Urigham, and of nearly every other town in Box Elder County, have stepped forward and patronized us with liberal hand: they have done surpassingly well and wc are not ungrateful. As for our advertising patrons, some of them have stuck to us through thick and thin from the start and are with us yet. Wc especially, especi-ally, thank them for their patronage patron-age and believe we have shown our appreciation by helping them at every possible turn. Other advertisers, ad-vertisers, started, but have dropped by the wayside, if for good reasons, we Jcave them to bo the last weeK on a similar siirvfect, "we know them no more." If a man thinks that the appearance of something in the paper which does not suit him justifies the withdrawal and continued withholding with-holding of his patronage, it is high time ho looks a little deeper. Notwithstanding his little blow at the paper, probably actuated : by revenge, probably not, it goes on like the good .Samaritan lauding laud-ing tho town and booming the county, probably to tlie benefit of this man ten times more than the paper itself. A paper has Ttf'O YEA US OLD. The Buoleu celebrated its second sec-ond birthday last Tuesday, and today to-day wo present our readers with No. 1 of Vol. III. This paper is a healthy, robust infant at two, and bids fair to kick up considerable dust on this great footstool, and do much good for the town and county it represents ore- it blows its last blast. Time and tho proper support will make The Bugler a power whose benefits bene-fits to this section will be incalculable. incalcu-lable. A paper, like The Bugler, which refrains from long, prosaic, or bitter political controversies, but, instead, makes its chief object the promulgation of our natural re-y re-y "lands, fruits, mineral springs nnd natural facilities, etc., is of inestimable inestim-able worth to any community aud deserves the generous, whole-souled support of every person, as every resident or property owner is considerably con-siderably benefitted by its persistent persist-ent labor of showing up the country coun-try and thus attracting people and capital. Two years ago last Tuesday, on June Uth, 1S90, the initial number of The Bugler was issued to a generous, gen-erous, delighted, but somewhat dubious public. It was the first and only paper published in Box wonderful powers of retaliation, but it seldom uses them in tins direction. di-rection. As the Salina Press said to a too scntitive subscriber in last issue, "we have the power to draw boils all over you," but will not. The BccLF.r. is "here to stay" Elder County and the fainthearted faint-hearted dug for its reception many an early grave in the dark recesses of their fertile imaginations. Its rapid growth, development, and present existence seem to have disappointed dis-appointed some of these worthies; others, we are pleased to chronicle, it pleases. We didn't launch this enterprise enter-prise with greed in our eye or with the highfaluten expectation of reaping a mint of wealth out of the vonture. Few country papers are making money; we knew this; and consequently pushed off our bark on the tempestous sea of journal is) with that not over-enthusing idea in view. Before our embarkation, however, we sought for several months, through the columns of the Salt Lake and Ogden papers, to induce some one to start a newspaper news-paper in Brigham City; this failed: wo accepted the alternative and took up tlie oars ourselves. AVe began the paper with tlie ever objectionable "patent inside," printing some eight columns of local matter. This continued for not tor our health alone either. AVe have no debts hanging threateningly threaten-ingly over our heads; when we close up shop, should that day ever come, it will be of our own freewill and because "of lack of patronage and appreciation. We have the satisfaction of knowing we have run a good paper; when our support won't justify the continuati m of a creditable credit-able sheet we won't get out any at all. "If a thing is woth doing, it is worth doing well." Bui we take pleasure in informing inform-ing our readers that, we are not losing money, and oar prospects tor the year ahead of us are far brighter than they were at this time- last year. Again thanking our patrons for pastfaors and suheituig a eon- tinur.tion of their patronaoe jn (ile future, we sol out on another year with strong determination to overcome over-come a'.l obstacles and to hew-down hew-down every difiieuity that we may chance to meet in the path to success, i i seventeen months, until Xovemher 1-lth, 1891, when we abolished the "patent inside" and blossomed out a clean, bright, all-home print containing con-taining nearly twenty columns of local news. We are today printins that large amount of home news, which is three to four times more than the ordinary country weekly paper contains. Before taking that step, however, we laid in a first-class job outfit and after it a cylinder press with a capacity of 1,500 copies an hour. 'AH this shows a live, progressive spirit, which will he satisfied with nothing short of being in the L-ont ranks of the profession, that our superb city and unsurpassed county may be creditably represented represent-ed to the world at large.
