Our citizens should remem ber that the
rate OF postage on transient newspaper
matter Is one cent for each two ounces or
fraction OF an ounce. Nearly all city
papers exceed two ounces. and are less
than four ounces, and the postage on
each paper is therefore two cents. A
great many papers never reach dehtinA.
'tion by reason of the mistake about the
proper postage. -,;a
