We hope you'll join us in Progress

The staff at the Franklin County Times has been working feverishly since November putting together our 2007 Progress edition.
Progress is an annual section published by the Times, which showcases the people, events and things in Franklin County.
This year's Progress edition will be included in the Sunday, Feb. 25 edition of the Times.
Currently, more than 190 advertisers have shown their support for what we think is the best Franklin County Times Progress edition to date.
There will be nine sections, each chocked full of local stories about local people and local things. We hope you'll find them as entertaining to read as we felt they were to write.
Our hope is that at least one story from this Sunday's edition will start some conversation that carries into Monday and beyond. Progress is a keepsake edition of the newspaper and we hope the 2007 edition is remembered at least until the 2008 edition rolls out.
To coincide with the release of Progress we're offering a one-day subscription special this Friday. From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., we're offering nine months for $39.64.
That's basically the cost of a six-month subscription but we're kicking in an extra three months for free.
It is my sincere hope that you will take full advantage of this one-day special and in the issues down the road you find that the Times becomes part of your morning routine.
When I was a kid, both my dad and my granddad would wake up, grab a cup of coffee and the newspaper. Even now that I'm grown, they still do.
There would be no greater compliment to the staff here than if the Franklin County Times was what you read each morning before you went off to work or the first thing you read when you got home.
Since September 2006, a lot of work has gone into improving your Franklin County Times.
We've had a lot of support and positive feedback from the community, our readers and our advertisers.
We hope that when people look back on 2006 and 2007 they will see the evolution of their newspaper as part of the county's progress.
