The Messenger
From the October 13 issue:
"The Messenger comes forth in the delightful October month
of 1893 and introduces itself to the world. It will make an appearance
with perfect regularity each week, and endeavor to fill the mission
of a first-class newspaper. In no case, and under no circumstances,
will its columns ever be used for the ventillation of personal
abuse or vindicative malice. The paper will advocate the principles
of mutual protection to home and country. We recognize Utah with
her perfect climate, varied resources and thrifty and industrious
people, as our home, and the United States of America -- the best
and greatest system of government in the world -- as our country.
To these we owe and cheerfully acknowledge perfect and unswerving
allegiance."
