Tns Millbrook Times means something. In the first place it means that we are not ashamed of Millbrook by any means. On the contrary we feel a just pride in the home of our adoption, for certainly it is the most beautiful and th ri ving village that our eyes have rested upon in this "Xew Northwest." Its location is almost in the exact centre of the county nearer than any rival town and it is on the direct stage line between Wn -TTprfin axr with a view to securing his support when elections are held and we think that those who resort to this despicable method will find themselves badly left when the proper time, arrives, for our colored people are tod intelligent to be deceived with such chaff.

We intend to keep fully up with the Times.

We are here to stay and build up a permanent business. We are not of the speculative or adventurous class who are always ready to "pull up stakes'1 and seek new pastures if it don't pay, but we are bound to stay and will make it pay. Neither are we of that class who use the press as a means of ingratiating themselves into public favor, with an eye to official spoils. We simply intend to publish a paper in Itillbrook, and we ask the patronage of all who feel an interest in sustaining such a paper as we shall publish Wo located at this point because we considered it the best location for a good paper, becauso we wished to be in the most flourishing village, because we wished to be at the county seat of Gra place of beginning," which was at the northwest corner of Graham county, and not on the lino at all; and such a refusing to receive them for more than ninety cents on the dollar. law must necessarily be of no effect.
