We have more than doubled this
month the number of subscribers we
got last June, which goes TO show
that the SEMI-WEEKLY SOUTH KEN

people. Reading people are be-

is the news, and at such times as is
most convenient for them. In this
respect the KENTUcKIAN fills the bill,
as you get one issue in the middle
and the other at the end of the week,
which is about as often as most farm
ers can go to the office, for their mail
You get more reading matter than
you can from any other paper in
this section of the State, and all fol
only $500 a year, Ifyou are not a
subscriber make up your mind to
give it a trial, for three, six or

A representative of the South
KENTUCKIAN followed the carrier
around the business part of the city
last Tuesday to see what could be
learned in regard to that class O
pests known as newspaper sponges.'
A number of them were fount
around their favOrite haunts, ready
to grab the paper before the subscriber
could get his hands OH it. These are
the fellows who never take papers
and don't seem to realize that thost
who do take them want them for thei
own use and benefit. Some of then
are so bad that they have to b.
watched to keep them from walking
out with the paper and robbing til,
subscriber of it entirely. We oftei
have complaints made to us of thi
class of dead beats and we took thi
little round in order to "spot" a few
of them. 1t will take something
) worse than "dog poetry" to exter
inmate these nuisances.
