NAUGATUCK COLUMN.
A Word About the Circulation of the
 "DemOcrat." H

DcmOCThNs
 The DEMOCRAT wishes to return thanks to its agents and subscribers in Naugatuck for the increased patronage that it has re- ceived during the past few weeks. As an- nounced some days ago a representative of another daily paper by unprofessional means tried to injure the DEMocRAr's standing in Naugatuck. An effort was made to have several newsboys stop selling the DEMOCRAT, but in only a single case did the ''bluff" work. One boy. whose sales averaged thirty a day, stopped hand ling this paper, but of the other agents. Messrs Wood and Dolan of Union City, w. Kelleher. John Suspicion and P. Burns of Naugatuck increased their orders so that instead of injuring the DEMOCRAT the methods of our contt mporary, to- gether V ith the better news service given, has increased the DEMocRAT's circulation fifty copies day. If you know of any news that would interest Naugatuck people kindly seud the facts to our correspondent or to the office direct. always accompanied by your name and address. not for puhlI- cation but as a guarantee of good faith.
