enal success, and is recognized to-day as
one of the best family papers in the coun-
try.
This offer is made to our subscribers
and the public in good faith. The FREE
PRESS is one of the oldest papers in ver-
mont, it is the largest newspaper in the
State it has the latest Telcgraphic News
through the Associated Press; its Market

down to the latest moment; its Town
Correspondence and news are full its
discussion of current events frank and
fearless. It's columns are free from SEN
sationalism, but filled with news it aims
to be clean and wholesome in its influen-
ces and it is reliable in every respect.
GOOD cheer is comparatively recent
enterprise, which has been started upon
new journalistic principles, and its sue
cess has been remarkable. 1t is 16 page
paper, each page of good size, well filled
and clearly printed. Its contents are
wholly made up of original matter Of n
high standard, clean, bright and enter
tanning, and very admirably adapted to
meet the literary wants Of the household.

ter, domestic hints, with special depart
ments for the young people, make up a
portion of its attractions, and new features
are announced as in preparation. Less

co. 900 copies in rs many families and
homes. 1t thereby proves, to the honor
of the American people, that to win re-
spect, confidence and popular support it
is not necessary to decend to cheap, trashy,
immoral sensationalisms. Good Cheer is
cheap, indeed, but its character is very
high I; it is bright and breezy, but never
low; it is pure and wholesome, bui never
dull. Good cheer is edited by one of the

cnlarging, number some of the best
