no QUE ADvEnrIsERs.

We shall be compelled to make a
slight advance on our advertising rates
after the LIST of January. After that
date we shall charge about 20 per cent.
more than we do at present. A word of
explanation will satisfy every one of
our patrons of the justice of this change.
We have been charging the same price
for advertising, with a circulation of
nine hundred, and with the paper cost
ing $45 to $50 per week, that we charged
when the present rates were established.
with a circulation of four to five hundred,
and the paper costing us $50 to S25 per
week. Our space is doubled in value to
advertisers since the present rates were
established. The additional cost will
be only SO to the eighth colnmn; So to
the quarter column; $40 to the halfcol-
umn; $15 to the whole column, and 81
to 50 on cards. After the 1st of jan
uary we shall enlarge, making an addi-
tional cost of S12 to SIS per week. We
shall furnish the paper to subscribers at
the same price, 50 per year, and We have
10 doubt but that we shall add from 800
to 500 to our circulation within the next
year, by which the value of advertising
space will be still farther advanced. We
have been doing advertising too cheap
at least so some of our friends have
told us. We have been charging the
same low rates as country papers with
a circulation of two and three hun dred.
When our friends consider the increased
advantage the paper will be as an adver-
Using medium when they consider that
we are pushing out solely for the ben
eft of the town and country, and con-
sequently for their individual benefits,
we believe they will each say we have
done right, and pay the small addition
cheerfully. You help us and we'n help
you.

ENROLLING CLERK OF THE SENATE
Miss Emma Hunt, of this place, will
be a candidate for Chief Enrolling
Clerk of the next State Senate. 1t is
useless for us to speak of this lady's
qualifications for that position, as they
are well known throughout the State,
she having filed the same position in
the House of Representatives last
winter. She will be sustained by the
members from this section of the State.
Having had an experience of one SEES
sion in the work of this Office, she will
be better fitted for its duties than a
new hand would be, and is in every
way worthy of the support of the Sen.
ators. We hope she will succeed. in
getting the place.

had since. He says it showed more or

1t impossible to get around, and it was
also much colder than it has been dur

TIE Snow STORM This part Of the
heavy snow storm, such as has not
been experienced here for many years.
We have had very wet, cold fall, so
wet that the roads have been almost
impossible for many weeks. \ slight
snow fell about ten days ago which
made the prospect for getting about
much worse but the grand climax was
not reached until last Saturday, when
the snow commenced coming down
with will and continued with but a
slight abatement until Sunday morning,
at which time a heavy northeast wind
came sweeping over the prairies, caus-
ing the snow to fill the air so that ii
was almost impossible to see any dis
lance, and heaping the snow into huge
drifts, filling up the ravines, covering
| the tops of fences and totally obliterat-
| ing all ways of travel, so that on last
Monday the prospect was dreary in the
extreme. The weather has not been
| very cold, the thermometer not going
! below zero. Had it turned very cold
| during the storm we have no doubt
there would have been a great deal OF
! suffering.
p. S. The above was written Thursday
This morning the mercury indicated u degree.
below zero-26 degrees colder than any former
morning of the season.
