THE ffl TRIBUNE BUILDING. 
I Vie new Tribune building stands upon the old site, and is 
the largest newspaper office in the world. The building 
is nine stories high, and its total cost will be one million of 
dollars .] 
THE AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. 
BETTER THATT EVER. 
It is the unanimous and unsolicited verdict of the hun¬ 
dreds of thousands of readers of THE TRIBUNE that the 
paper was never so good as at the present time. During the 
past year it lias enlarged its field and improved its facilities 
in every direction, and enters upon the year 1871, which is to 
be one of the most important in public and political affairs, 
with most encouraging prospects. THE TRIBUNE, how¬ 
ever, believes in deeds rather than in words, in results 
rather than in promises. It points to its record and its col¬ 
umns for the past twelve months-as the best evidence of 
what it lias done, and the most satisfactory pledge of wliat 
it will do. All tlie distinctive features of the paper will lie 
preserved and strengthened; tlie " Extras,” whose sale has 
reached hundreds of thousands, be continued ; the front 
of its new building completed, and ttie present admitted 
pre-eminence of the paper not only maintained, but still 
further advanced. 
As ail invaluable napar for the farmers of the whole conn- 
try THE TRIBUNE fully maintains ils well-known an i ad¬ 
mitted position. It publishes much more matter of interest 
to farmers and their families than any of the strictly “ agri¬ 
cultural ” papers, and no farmer can afford to he without it 
unless he can afford also to be without all the market're¬ 
ports—cattle, grain, and produce -information of agricul¬ 
tural events and progress. and all the general news of the 
dav. T,o every intelligent farmer THE TRIBUNE is simply 
Indispensable.

of life in the Old Dominion. Its people arc ladies and 
gentlemen. RobertPagebrook, the “Man of Honor,” is 
every inch a man, and his sayings and doings at once at¬ 
tract and hold the reader's attentive interest. It is a 
love-story, too, and has the merit, which is not as com¬
