Once more the HERALD finds it neces-
sary to state its rule as to giving notices
for church and society entertainments,
sales, suppers and the like. IL gives one
notice free; others must be paid for. The
free notice can be handed in for any issue
that pleases the parties concerned, and
should not be too long. Inc rate iof lhe
other notices is reasonable, as the HERALD
desires 10 favor home institutions as much
as il can and still consult its own interests
and the tastes OF its readers. The limit
must be placed somewhere, and II more
than one notice Of reasonable length is de-
sired, the others viii be elassed as adver-
Using, at a low rate.
