The extreme goodness of the people, together with their kind partiality has enabled the paper to live through all these years. It has been touched by every wave of depression that passed through the South; it has felt something of the good effects of every revival in business and industry. It has had faults, but it has always had friends and it has been ever true and loyal to them. On the threshold of the new year and the new volume I would be glad to promise my patrons a paper with out fault or blemish, but this promise is not made. But it shall be the purpose of this paper to reflect credit upon its town and its county, and whatever of good it can do will be done with might and main. Having attained by far the largest subscription list ever known in Jackson there is great encouragement for the future, and it shall be the work of The Argus to convince its readers that their faith in it is well founded. Good luck to all of us, and more, too !
