The Hampshire County Journal.


In closing a work like this it also seems quite proper to say a few words abont the newspaper and office which publishes it. The accompanying engraving shows the home of the Hampshire County Journal, where "Picturesque " Hampshire" was "made up." The circumstances which led to its pub- lication have already been detailed, The publishers of The Journal, Wade, Warner & Co., have been in business in the same building now occupied by them, for over thirteen years. It is a sightly and desir- able location, overlooking the court-house park and the lower part of Main street. This spot has been the home of printers from time immemorial.


It is safe to say that The Journal newspaper is one of the most in- fluential institutions of Northamp- ton, and its job printing depart- ment is one of the best patronized in the county. It does an enor- mons amount of poster, circular, program, business and amusement printing in the course of a year, for a country printing-office, and as its prices are moderate, service prompt and work neatly performed its patronage is continually in- creasing. It is one of the handiest

places in the city for our out-of-town friends to reach. They will see the large block shown in the engraving, across the court-house park, soon after coming on the

The Hampshire County Journal newspaper needs little introduction to the public. It is an indepen- dent democratic newspaper. It believes in the people, in equality of representation and taxation, and has tried to be independent in its criticisms. Unlike other papers in the county it has been open to the freest discussion of all sub- jects, and that its course has been popular is shown from the trebling of its circulation since the present proprietors took charge, while the establishment of new papers has had no other effect upon its subscription list.


The outlook for The Journal was never brighter and the publishers of this work will of course be glad to make any one acquainted with The Journal who has not yet seen it. The paper is issued every Fri- day afternoon, in time to reach all county towns before Sunday. The terms of subscription are $1.50 a year, and it will be sent one year to a new subscriber, with a copy of this work, for one dollar.

PICTURESQUE HAMPSHIRE.


To the People of Hampshire Co. and Everybody else.


We wish to say a few words to you about buying your BOOKS AND STATION- ERY, PAPER, ENVELOPES, INK, BLANK Books, etc., at home.


1. It is a neighborly act, and due to those who are settled here and identified with the interests of our city.


2. In nineteen cases out of twenty you can buy as low in town as out of town.


3. If you do not buy, at any rate compare prices, aud see if you cannot do equally well, or even better, here at your doors.


4. Do not be deluded by Subscription Book Agents who say, "CAN'T BE BOUGHT AT THE BOOKSTORES"- Cyclopædias, Books of Travel, His- tory, etc. We will do as well as the AGENT, and generally GIVE BETTER PRICES.


5. Orders by mail, or questions concern- ing Books, gladly answered.


6. The Old College Bookstore, 108 MAIN STREET, is the place to verify these statements.
