NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

TIE NEWS is conducted on thc plan
 of giving each subscriber yalne received
 for their money. We cndoayour to make
 the NEWS hselr worth the subscription
 price, instead of ncglec.inE tho paper and then giving the subscribers somo little premium io keep them good no. tured
 We nre aware that many papers offer clubbing rates with other papers and magazines. On the surface this appears Co be an inducement and subscriber naturally thinks it is clear gain Co him. In Q mVuFhg of cases instead of being an advantage it is really Q disadvantage, for it should be understood thut it requires much tune in every newspaper office to keep the accounts correctly, where even a limited number aynil themselves of clubbing rates, and most editors of country papers have to keep their own books, and it will be readily seen that if considerable portion of tho editors time is occupied in keeping accounts he cannot devote as much time to the paper or keep it up to the standard. he other. wise would.
 We want to place our subscribers on an equal footing with the subscribers Co other county papers, and We now think we can. The problem with us haa beon how to give our subscribers tho benefit of clubbing rates without keeping ac- counts with 90 many different publish. CTS, and thus consuming time that should be devoted to the paper. We have solv- ed the problem and here is the explain ation. It is easier to keep m account of 5000 items with one subscription agon- cy than to keep an account of ono item with 5000 different publishers. Egles- tons subscription agency at Falls Vii. lage, formerly Deans club agenoy) can furnish 5000 different periodicals at club rates to single subscribers, subscriptions to commence at any time. Those sub scribers to the NEWS, who wish to obtain at a reduction, almost any paper, maga. zine or book published, will find it to their advantage to subscribe for papers or magazines through Egleston's sub scrption agency, or purchase books from said agency, and they can also club the NEWS with 5000 different periodicals by addressing said agency, who will furnish price-list on application.

A Letter from COuntrytOwn.

I am a countryman, which means that am not city bread, nor anything else good to eat. My aunt Jemimy is just so too, and we have always lived in Countrytown, Conn.,, so you can't ex- pect us to know as much as them there city folks as come and live here through the summer months and call everything ''beautifully rustic" and such kind of names. I used to think it was perlite way they had of making the best of everything, that led them astray in that way, but when I seen purity young gal chased out of aunt Jemimys medder by the old bull, one day, knowed better, for that young gal didn't attempt to say word till she was over the fence safe, and she wasn't any too perlite when she did open her mouth. Guess she was mad.
 My aunt Jemimy helps run the sow ing sercioty here, so I generally hear some of the news and will furnish you with few columns of interesting items immediately after they hold their ses- sion each week, if you want me to. But now you look here, Mir Editor, if I am going to run your paper for you, yom mussent nere,' do nothing except tchdt / aca'at you 10, nor let anybody know through your paper that my aunt Jer- mimy wears false curls, for they are made of real hair that was combed out of my head when had the typhus fev- CT. She said she would use it for her. self. as she couldn't match her hair at the store, as they were just out of the fory-coLored shades then, so you see her hair is all real, genuine, straight-haired stuff, and she don't want nobody to think 1t taint.
 We'll, guess me and you can make a trade, so I'll give you ore item this time, as @ sample and next week, If you take this dose, I'll give you some more.
 You see, at the last heathen-reforming and fan cy-work bee, which was held here, poor old lady of this place was asked if they might not do some of her sewing for her, and she was glad enough of the chance to have 'em, and all they asked her for making two shirts for hel old man was $I.00. The heathen have got to be supported and while they don care much for shirts and such things they do need money to buy plug tobac co with, so you see MT Editor, my aun Jermimy and the rest can't afford t, spend their time fooling around all da. just to help clothe one home heather " en there are so many more in sucl absolute want far away. Yours,
