...quickly rendered at first, and so steadfastly maintained. By their approval the financial position of the paper has been rendered satisfactory for this year, with a bright future in prospect. From this fact we are tempted to believe that we have succeeded, to a degree, in carrying out the plan for the paper's conduct laid down in the first number.
