OUR FIRST APPEARANCE. T hk task tve have set ourselves in com­


mencing the issue of a newspaper, is one of very considerable dimensions, and we cer­ tainly do not under-rate it. But we are no less certain that we are equal to its accom­ plishment. ' The population of Clitheroe and Low Moor alone has now turned ten thousand; and the fact of the town having attained such a growth—which will not be considered as mushroom-like,—without hav ing its special local paper, is unique. To be brief upon this point, we are distinctly of opinion that i f it to///, Clitheroe can support the newspaper of its choice. We intend that its choice shall be T h e C l ith er o e T imes. Now, if the position of Clitheroe is unique,


ours is no less so. It is our privilege that at commencement there is no locally

printed paper to oppose us: therefore we are not called upon to take a stand in political matters which would be almost necessarily dictated or governed by a rival newspaper. We propose that our views of politics shall be.transmitted through colourless glasses] and we venture to put fonvard the sugges­ tion that politics are not necessarily the beginning and the end of a local news­ paper’s duties to its readers. Party feeling in the town is already sufficiently intense without our contributions. In another respect our position is peculiar;


and although we desire to touch upon it here as lightly as possible, it is felt that our rela­ tions" with our. townsmen, should suffer nothing from an explan.ation of that position. There'is not a fortune behind our undertak- aud’it'should be'understood that for our


continuance we rely upon the recognition of efforUt—not a recognition that comes


empty-handed, but one that comes with something out of which .s.alaries can be paid. Still,'we are not to be taken as .'isking ior a


support that we do not earn. We are too proud to crave wliat we are not able to
