Thie tone of the Headlight
w Nor 52, of volume 2nd.
Next week ire will write,
Vol. 3., No 1. We are cer
tainly gratefUI to the people
at large, for the (urge patron
age. extended to iu, and we
are especially thankful that
ffonvutf of onr euhecribers
have paid their vubecriptions
Through the kindness of the
gdod people, wo are In good
trim for the voyage of 1903.
The Headlight is on a solid
foondatiou, with no dobta to
encumber it, and good assets
ft» sight, to give it an easy
sail for the coming year. Wo
havo tried to fight the batik*
of the Democratic party, mm
O party, but have always
beep ready to condemn any*
thing in individuals, that we
thought was calculated to in
jura the party. The party is
right, but individuals, whoth-!
er Democrats or Republicans,
Shay in the name of their
party, do things to advance
their individual interests.
s This is not good, honest pol
ities, and sooner or later,
Such action will injure their
party and bring their schemes
fo naogbt.
* Tins m an off year in poli
ties, «nd we hope "the land
will have net.” The Hoad
light ia tha people’s paper,
and it will try to serve them
3T*n -aiJO faithfully than
heretofore. No man outside
our sanctum, can dictate a
course Cor the Headlight to
follow. It has no boss, nor
Me it any favorites. It
Stands for true Democracy
under the untyo/ity rule, and
a straight party ticket, whetb
av ita legal nominees are
friends or (bee. The flag we
flung to the breese In our
first issue, still floats in tri
umph at our column head,
god to-day, wo stand strong
er in the affections of the
people than ever before, and
more than ever, devoted to
the advancement and up
building of all the material
interest of oounty and State.
