It's Enlargement TO a Forty-Column Pa |
per.
The Emporia WEEKLY News appears
this week enlarged one column. on each
page, and considerably heightened, it
now being a mammoth four-page sheet
of ten columns to each page, forty col
umns in all, which is the utmost capacity
al size that can be printed on our large
power press. 1t is now equal in size To
any paper published in the state, and
larger than any paper south OF west of
Topeka. This enlargement adds space
equal 90 six columns of reading matter,
over what we have been furnishing, and
will enable us TO improve every depart
ment of the paper, The recent enlarge
meAt~of TUE DAILY News gives US
vast assortment of matter To select from
TO fill the weekly, and will give the lat
ter advantages that no other paper in
southwestern Kansas can offer. 1t will
present each week 10 its readers the most
thoroughly sifted and systematic tele-
graphic report of daily events in all parts
OF the world, TO be found in any paper in
the state 1t will give, as soon rs con-
gress convenes, regular summary Of the
coming session, and give 1t every
week up TO the day of going to press. 1t
viii give a large and varied assortment
OF miscellany-stories sketches, poetry,
and selections culled from the best
sources especially for our columns, and
not 10 be found in "patent outsides." 1t
will give short editorials upon the lead
ing events of the day as they occur. 1t
will gtke the home and tclegraphic mar
ket reports. 1t will give, far beyond
what sny. other paper can, state, home
and neighborhood news. This specially
will have ample room, and in this re-
spect THE WEEKLY News will he unri-
vailed and unapproached by any other
paper in the state. We do not refer
10 these matters in any spirit of boasting,
or from any desire to dIsparage other pa
pers. We simply wish 10 call the atten-
ton of our readers 10 the decided superb
GRITTY and consequently the cheapness of
The WEEKLY News. And we claim
that In every respect it is paper that
may be freely read aloud in any family
circle, and that It combines information,
instruction and entertainment TO de-
gree not equalled by any other paper in
this part of the state.
As paper to send east to creditably
! represent Emporia and Lyon county
THE WEEKLY NEWS is especially use
full. 1t costs, paid for in advance. $3.50
per year and of this we have TO pay
about 20 cents year for postage. We
therefore get for each copy outside of the
county only $1.30 per year, and we will
keep down to this price to make our
citizens feel that they can afford to
send copies east for the purpose of at
, tracing immigration. Every copy sent
there passes from hand TO hand, and is
read by many people, and the cost Is
very triiling compared to the results
J achieved in the way of the best class of
immigration, We invite every business
man who wishes TO see more farms open
ed In Lyon county to order THE NEWS
sent TO some acquaintance at the east.
1t will be very acceptable holiday
present.
We expect, and of course intend, that
rthls enlargement will be followed by a
steady Increase of our circulation. There
will be no increase of advertising rates,
and the attention of advertisers who
wish to reach the people is called to the
fact that THE WEEKLY NEWS is I'M
questionably the best advertising medi-
um for this part of the state.
The subscription price will remain
as at present, $1.50 per year 10 be paid i'll
advancc-$2 per year on all accounts in
arrears. And as the cost of the paper
will now be greatly increased over what
1t has been, we are compelled, in order
80 pay expenses, TO say that we cannot
furnish it except when paid for. We
cannot afford to give credit and take
risks. We prefer $3.50 per year in adj
vance and stop when the time Is ont, to
promise of 81 during or at the end OF
the year We are compelled to stop send
ingpapers todelinquents and must collect
what they owe and will place their
names again on our books when the pa
per Is paid for. The cost of white paper,
which is steadily increasing, of itsel:
compels us to drop the credit system.
We simply cannot give credit for a sheet
of the present size and expenses. We
therefore ask all to pay what they owe,
and 10 pay $3.50 in advance for 1880.
Only on these terms can we afford
to furnish the paper.
