An Unparalleled oner for New Subscribers

We want anywhere from five hun
dred to thousand new subscribers on
our list. We want them in order to
make a better paper for our patrons
and also to pocket more money out of
our business. We might adopt one of
several methods of accomplishing this
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 con-
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 as 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,
nouncement of the American Book Exf
change, which comprises list Of the
best standard works, all printed in
good, clear type, on good paper, and

books that ought to be in every library.

whose price does not exceed forty cents.
