Goodhue Co. Republican.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY
L.F. HUBBARD, - - - EDITOR
RED WING, MAY 10, 1861
Great Reduction in Price.
The Weekly Republican for One Dollar
and Fifty Cents.
From and after this date the Weekly Republi-
can will be furnished to single subscribers at one
dollar and fifty cents per year. The advanatages
at present offered by the REPUBLICAN, are certain-
ly sufficient to make it worth that sum to every
person in Goodhue county who desires to obtain
the latest intelligence concerning the great events
now rapidly transpiring. Each issue contains full
telegraphic news for the week from all parts of the
county, and as late as the morning on which it is
published. We are about to see exciting times. -
The Government is rapidly preparing itself for a
vigorous prosecution of the war. We shall soon
have stirring events to chronicle, and every one
must take a lively interest in the position of af-
fairs as time progresses. The most vital interests
of every citizen of the country is at stake. The
question whether we have a government, whether
we are to have any protection in our persons and
property, is now pending and is to be solved in
the issue of the present contest. We offer our
paper to those of all past party connections. The
old lines of division among us are now obliterated,
and all loyal citizens stand upon a common plat-
form.
We are all Americans, nothing else. Every
other consideration is swallowed up in the great
movement to vindicate our claim to the title. -
The bitterness of the past is forgotten, the great
issue of the present only seen. We offer our pa-
per to all those who desire to obtain the latest
news, whether of a general or local nature.
