Oar New Dress.
The Journal, in an entirely new
iress, shaped in the latest and most
approved style, greets its , readers this
morning, with , its ; profoundest bow.
We need not say that no expense has
been spared to "make the paper, in
. ita present form, a representative .of
the progress, intelligence and good
lasts of our citizens. ' The paper tells
that by ita very appearance.
Sohie of our renders may cli?ulie
the quarto form because they are un
accustomed to it., -We think, how
evervth&t all will in time agree with
xs that it Is not only the neatest in
appearance, but the most convenient
aaanner in which a daily paper can be
."made up." We have several reasons
for adopting the. quarto form. ;It is
the most fashionable. Have we a
lady reader who can not appreciate
the potency of that reason? By pub
lishing reading matter on every page
advertisers esptr!-.nce the benefit of
a glance over their advertisements by
- very f reader of the paper "every
, morning. ' Their ability and will
ingness to 4 sell their goods cheap is
' kept "before the people" in a - way
that can never be done in the old
felanket sheet style Of making up pa
jrL', Again,' under our1 present ar
rangement, we can discard the "hand
hill" or "poster " style of newspa
pers which nearly all the Dailies of
second class cities' have ' adopted.
Nothing is' more unpleasant to the
reader of a newspaper than the glar
ing display of poster type in a paper
that he takes ;up to findtbe news.
Our observation and experience, have
laught us that in exact proportion as
fcewspapcrs prostitute themselves ' to
the whims and wishes of every adver
tiser as to he size of the type in
jflbich his advertisement shall be pub
lished, they lose their - value as ad
vertising mediums. The papers which
have the largest advertising patron
age, such as the New York Herald,
and Cincinnati Commercial, are those
who- ha.ye': .discarded tjie.'.old man-nf'-
'op displaying their advertise-;
mentJ Besides, where every adter-j
tiser, is permitted to put his advertise-!
isent in big type, relatively, adrtise
e3 are no more conspicuous' than
where they are all neatly displayed in
xnall tyt- We stilt retain a few ad
vertisements whose contracts are nearly
expired. Ilsreafter, no large cuts will be
received, nof will unusually large type
he used in displaying advertisements.
We are confident every reader will in--orse'the
wisdom of this resolution i
We have purposely selected a type
With bold clear face, both for tie
reading4 matter " and fadvertisementsJ
This, too, we- apprehend will give sat--isfd.ction
to all our subscribers. .
For a time some of our readers may
experience difficulty in knowing; where
to look for what they want, and we will,
therefore, specify our intended manner
,fcf naking up 1 the paperQjLjQjyrst
ise we will put the telegraph, and per
haps some late news selections. On our
second page will always be found com
munications, i seleetions, &c. On the
-third
page ; a column, .at least, of
poetry, sentiment, or something
of,, that sort may :. he r antic
ipated. The fourth page will he set
'apart for editorial. 'The sixth page
will contain local and State news; ,the
seventh page, .commercial and river
Intelligence, and the eighth page, late
Jocal and river news. In a day or two
are hope to have our advertisements
classified ; that every, reader will
' know exactly on which page to look
foi a particular hranch of business or
trade. This will be of convenience to
ihe readers and valuable to the adver-'iitftB.v-fi''
Si - :i i "
?We have no very extensive promises
to make as to future improvements.
Our readers fill, give us credit, we j
1 THE ' ESITAX SVIL.L.E DAILY JOUMNAIi,: WEDNESDAY,
think, for doing all in our power wit'
the means at our command to present
them with a readable and acceptable
paper; , We think our paper will com
pare favorably with any Daily in the
United States published in a city of
no larger population than our own
We shall endeavor to make of the
Journal a newspaper in every sense
of the "word. We shall devote mor
than ordinary attention to the loca
department, and trust that we shall in
this particular make our paper reflect
as from a mirror, all that transpires in
the city, of public interest.
We have no complaints, to make as
to our patronage in the past. We on
ly trust that our friends will, in the
future, exert themselves in our be
half in proportion to our efforts to
please and inform them. 1
