Mitchell is prospering in (flint/on as editor and proprietor of the News- Recurd. \Ve were soon crowded again for space, and to meet the pressing de- mands upon us, in December 1901 we increased our space by reducing the paper to a six column, eight page pa- per, all home print and discarded the patent inside. This caused ‘us a great deal more work, but we have no reason to regret the change. Up to that time we got our supply in every week if the weather permitted, but now we stock up with two ton lots, and whether the roads are drifted or not we are not prevented from getting out the paper for want of stock. These are only some of the advancements made in the Chronicle equipment. \Ve found our job department being over-crowded and had to add new type every little while, a new stitcher, and recently an additional new job press, and to-day, though our office is not an inviting one, we feel that we have as good an equipment as most country offices can boast of, and a healthy subscription list of over sixteen hundred which is steadily growing. A cut- of whose residence appears in this issue, is an old and valued citizen here. Up to a few years ago, Mr. Laidlaw was a successful merchant. He sold out, and is now a traveller for the Durham Cement Company. He has served in various capacities in the Council, was mayor of the town, and made a good one. He is public spirited and generous to a fault. On taking charge of the Chronicle ten years ago, we had a five column paper of twelve pages, eight of which were printed away from home. This left us only twenty colunms at our dis- posal for :ulvertisenients and reading matter, and we felt pinched from the very first for want of space. and had to get out a “ suI‘)ple1nent ” nearly every issue. The plant was also very primitive, the paper being run off on a \Vashington hand press at much physi- cal energy, with but little Satisfaction for the amount of work expended. \Ve struggled on this way running the an- noying supplements until February 1900, when we increased ourlocal space to twenty-eight colunms, the paper be- ing changed to a 7 column, 8 page pa.- per, with the “patent inside” contin- ued. This gave us more room, but also doubled our press work, for we still had the old “ \Vashington ” and it was only large enough to print two pages at a time. Our circulation, which did not much exceed a thousand when the “lop ofl’s ” were all made for the first few months, had been growing steadily and we were forced to do smnething to lessen the labor of the press work. Accordingly, we made a bold venture, and in April of the same year we in- stalled a cylinder press, which made us feel our equipment was nearing completion, but not so, as we had to turn the machine by hand and every issue ground out was truly the result of honest labor and, let us hope, the expenditure of sweat from one or more. honest brows. There was no alterna- tive but to grind. There were no elec- tions on where money was raining down like manna from heav in, or being placed, by no one knows whom, in the pockets of the Chronicle’s proprietor, and a couple of yea rs had to pass be- fore we had the luxury of :L g:LS(')1illO engine to lighten our labors and to save our sweat. \V.
