A FEW OPENING REMARKS

This is the first issue of the Jones Journal. It has been sent to all box 
holders in Jones County in order that as near everyone as possible may see 
just what the county’s new paper will look like. We naturally hope that you 
like what you see and that you will give the Journal your support now and for 
a long time in the future. Mrs. Rachel Cox of Pollocksville Route One is the 
Editor of the Journal and will be in charge of the Journal office in the rear 
of the Branch Bank Building in Trenton. She is being aided in gathering the 
news of the county by Mary Belle Stott of Maysville, Mrs. Carey Waters of 
Pollocksville, Mrs. Carl Tyndall and Richard Tyndall of Comfort and Mrs. 
George Nick Nobles of Trenton. Our intention naturally is to make a living 
income from this paper and its older sister The Lenoir County News. But while 
doing this we also intend to give Jones County and interesting, informative 
and constructive newspaper that it can be proud of from the beginning. We 
don’t pretend to think that we shall please everyone, but we shall most 
assuredly do our very best to tell the truth consistently. If you have liked 
this first issue, place your subscription now with one of our solicitors or 
bring it to our office which shall be open Thursday-Friday and Saturday 
morning of each week until further notice.
