ANNOUNCEMENT of eome changes in
The Courier that have been in con
templation for several months, changes
that will materially affect this paper, and
be for its immediate betterment. The
Courier has made a field for itself, and
the measure of success it has attained
during the serious business depression,
encourages us, now that the outlook is
brightening, to put forth new effort in
the endeavor to make this paper com
pletely fill its chosen field. We
believe, and experience sustains
us in the belief, that there is a
place and an important place, for
the weekly paper that will carefully and
honestly review those subjects of real
interest to the people, to which the
daily papers, in their haste, cannot
give more than passing notice. Our
aim is to make The Courier a trust
worthy and interesting weekly
review containing such information
and discussion as cannot be obtained
elsewhere, and it is in furtherance of
this idea that the plans spoken of have
been adopted. We reserve the detaile .
