Delhi Chroicle March 8, 1873
   The first number of a weekly paper, under the title will be issued, in the 
town of Delhi, on or about the first day of Oactober, 1872, and now is the 
time to send in your names, in order to commence with the first number of the 
paper.  Having procured the services of some of the writers in the South, the 
purpose of the proprietor is not merely to make it a Live, Local, Country 
Paper, but a First Class Family Journal, that will be a credit to the country 
and a welcome visitor to every Fireside, Workshop, Office and Counting Room in 
North Louisiana or any where else it  may find its way, as it will, besides 
giving the current news of the day, be devoted to the encouragement of all the 
Industrial Pursuits. Intellectual, Agricultural and Mechanical, the 
development of the resources of this portion of the Great Mississippi Valley, 
and the promotion of the Religious, Moral and Social Virtures of our 
intelligent, chivalrous and generous people.
   Having set his mark high, it will be the constant aim and chief desire of 
the proprietor to bring and keep this paper up to the highest standard of 
journalism, worthy of the generous support of a discriminating and 
appreciative public, upon whom he confidently relies for their cooperation in 
the enterprise assuring the people that it will always commonsense with the 
encouragement it receives from them.  
   To this end, he appeals to all who may favor the enterprise, and especially 
those who desire the prosperity of Delhi and all that pleasant and bequtiful 
country known as the Macon Ridge, to assist him in procuring for the paper 
such an extensive circulation and advertising patronage as will justify the 
expenditure of the money and labor necessary for the establishment of this 
cherished enterprise upon a permanent and prosperous basis, not only by 
subscribing and advertising themselves; but influencing others to do likewise.
   All ministers of the Gospel among whose flocks the paper circulates, will 
receive a copy regularly free of charge by furnishing their names and post 
office address.  School Teachers and Postmasters requested to solicit
