The publisher of the SIGNAL does
not offer to club with other publica-
lions because we consider the paper
has worth enough in itself without
offering premiums to obtain sub
crlbers. But just now we are need
ing little money very bad, and we
are going to make a present of one
years subscription to the Farm
journal, 20-page monthly, to every
farmer who will come in during Jan
uary and February or send by letter
and pay us at least one dollar in cash.
This may apply on old account OF
new subscription, but does not in
clude money paid for subscription to
other publications.

when the results of his administra

of the State for a few years back
In 1884 with State-taxes six mills,
we find-in round numbers, a float.

excess of revenues Of $4,000. In

In 1888 came the Nichols adj.

to the credit of the ifteres!

done without any incre ase in til
