to Justify such a measure: 10 which event, tie
Advocate, after the fact IS asccrtsined, and the
necessary Arrangements made, will be published
weekly, at Bfoaniown, Davidson county, y. G.,
On super.royal sheet, for 81 50. But in tie
meantime, or should the proposed association III.
,ima;ey fail for want Of sulliciont encouragement,
as sboye stated, the paper viii sul be continued
semi.monthly on a sapcrroyal sheet, for one dol
lar, as heretofore.

ed change from semi-mnnthiy 10 weekly pd-
per would give general satisfaction 10 al oug pre-
sent subscribers because, for tbs small addition
Of fifty cents, a volume furnishing more than dou.
ble the amount of reading matter would be socur.
I'd or, instead Of giving ono dollar for a volume
" 3-i pages, tacy will receive for ono dn.iar and
Gi,y cents volume containing 632 pages. And
moreover 10 addition to the greater quantity NJ
reading matter furnished, we have no do-ai that
an increased Interest would be tins communica.
