A SO THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW Begining with this issue tho Nows comes to its readers from tho hands of new owners. On June 1st the entire plant, good will and subscription list were bought by Messrs. Tago & Cagloy, and the plant moved from its old location in tho Perkins & Winzenreid building to tho Stevens building on Main street, where, in addition to more room will be added a complete lino of stationery, school and typewriter supplies. It is the intention of tho new owners to provide Springfield with a livo, up-to-the-mnute newspaper, one the citizens of Sprngfield and surrounding country can fool proud of. The paper will be enlarged to eight pages to take care of tho increased advertising patronage which has been promised by tho merchants and gjve more room for news matter. Howover, tho present issue should not be taken as a criterion of what wo expect to do, owing to tho difficulty of moving a large plant, which has kept us busy for several days, and it will probably be tvo or three weeks before wo aro fully straightened out and in good running order.
