THE AMERICAN has subscribers at 100
Of the II6 post-o6ices in Hancock county;
al the other papers in the county COM
bined do not reach so many. THE AMER
ICAN IS not the only paper printed in
Hancock county, and has nerer claimed TO
be, but 1t is the only paper that can prop
erty be called COUNTY paper; all the
rest are merely local papers. The circuta-
tion Of THE AMERICAN, barring the Bar
Rdrbor Records summer list, is larger
than that Of all the other papers printed
in Hancock county.

TO fill a book with the same vicious atmosphere

convince the reader that the different tales. de-
spite an occasional touch of nature, have really
little to do with life, but are mere cheap inven-
