THE NEWS THE COMING PAPER.
TO the Editor OF the Providence News:
Dear Shiny opinion of the Providence
News Is that IL has either washed its
face or changed its stan OF editors. WnyF
Because it lis more interesting, up-to-
date, right to the point. and. above All
one can now depend upon what II says.
IL is the coming paper OF this state anu
the people know a good thing when they
see IT.. This is my reason why the News
has increased its circulation 800 per
cent. during the past five Npeks.
Yours truly.

LIKES TRANSFER AGITATION.
Editor Providence News:
Dear Sir-My answer 10 your question
as TO why your paper has increased so
much in circulation Is, brevity, smartness
in your leading articles. with high opin-
ions as TO public morality. You give
clear and decisive answer to all questions
of political, social and religious charac-
ter and you ventilate the high-handed
system of the Union Railroad Company IN
not giving TO the patrons the much-need-
ed transfers.
Yours respt..

SEVEN REASONS.
Editor Daily News Providence. r. l.:
Dear Sir-While returning from work,
recently, n neighbor noticed that f~had
in my hand, as usual. a copy OF the Provi-
dence Telegram. He said: Il want TO
give you little advice. Harris: you will
find il for your interest to read the Provi-
dence News, instead OF the paper YOU
have" 'why?" asked. "A few weeks
ago I changed to the News, for the rea-
son that it is not afraid to show UP i'm
morality, and print all the news he re-
plied i decided to follow my neighbors
plan, and must say that from the first i
was more than pleased and surprised to
find there Is one newspaper that gives
the news impartially and is with the peo-
pie. Thus when you state that the News
circula ton has increased fully 300 per cent.
during the past five weeks, l applaud
the success, and IL may have been caused
by the following:
1st The News wears no muzzle.
I'd. Talks with the people; not over
their heads.
Sd. Has presented a number of features
new to the reading public of this vicinity
and state.
4th. Gives brief reports.
5th. Up-to-date management.
9Th First-class delivery.
eth. Is newspaper from the first to
the eighth pages.
hope and have no doubt that the cir
culation will steadily increase to the profit
and glory of all concerned.
Yours for reform,
FRED HARRIS.
