end, such as insulting the people Of the
county by sending our paper to persons
not subscribers with notification that
unless they take the trouble and expense
OF notifying us otherwise, we shall coll
slider them as wishing to be enrolled
among our subscribers. We might send
around agents TO beg unwilling parties
to take the paper. But believing that. our
subscribers and others can help MS best
by working among their neighbors, we
have decided to offer them the follow
ing inducement to do so. In our adver-
Using columns may be found the an

We believe no paper of our standing
has ever before made such liberal Of |
Ter for new subscriptions. The cheapest
of the books offered have never, so
far as we know, been obtainable for
less than from dollar 20 dollar and
a halt before their publication by the
American Book Exchange.

and let them add to their
libraries by getting subscriptions.
There is no neighborhood where ma
ny subscriptions might not be obtained |
and we hope thus to be the means of |
hundreds of books through |
the county.
We believe good books are better
premiums than cheap chromos or brass
jewelry, and we trust our patrons
will agree with us.
All the publications of the American |
Book Exchange for sale at the Register
office, or furnished on short notice.
