ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
More Opinions on the Reduction of the Price
of the Advocate.


The reduction in the price of the ADVOCATE
from Two dollars to one dollar year is still
the subject Of favorable comment among the
people, and The advance payment system is
as favorably received nearly as the reduction
in price.
L. J. Lawyer said-''You made ten
strike. The ADVOCATE is the best county
paper in the state, and being as cheap as the
inferior ones, the circulation ought to be
thrilled. Every farmer ought to take it. The
move was good all around-to the publishers,
to the people and to advertisers"
VIM. P. Gorsuch, Sykesville-''l always
believed the ADVOCATE worth $500, and at
S1.00 the circulation ought to increase
largely
Francis Shriver-''To one dollar and half,
thought, would have been a sufficient re-
duction. but putting the price down to one
dollar will insure many new subscribers.
The cash system is the best move A bird
in the hand is worth two in the bush. The
ADVOCATE is the best printed and best edited
paper in the state, as it is also the cheapest
Jos. P. Yingling, Pleasant Valley-"Busi-
ness is business, and | can not see how you
can furnish as good and newsy paper as the
ADVOCATE for so small price, considering,
too, the quality of the paper used.

Your cash in advance" plan Is q business move in
the right direction, since the credit system, we all
know, is bad, and especially in q newspaper, as

Prof. d. w. Herring, University of the City
of New York, in enclosing check for two
years subscription in advance, writes:
OF course Ii Ike to get the most / can for my
money but | always thought the ADVOCATE was
worth the cost of It. even before you reduced the
price hope you will gain enough in circulation
and advertising to more than offset the reduction.
Very truly yours, d. W. Herring.
