remedies on the market for
coughs, colds, and that alarming
complaint, Group. We refer to
Cham berlain' S Cough Remedy.
We have used it with such good
results in our family 50 long that
it has become a household neces-
sity. BY its prompt use we
havn t any doubt but that it has
time and again prevented Group.
The testimony is given upon our
own experience, and we suggest

PAPER Enlarged.

After printing THE FNEE
pREss ali al home for some time,
we have deeided to adopt the
auziliary prints for part of the
paper, giving us eight RACES in
stead of four. This change is
made necessary by increased adj
vertising and this method Of en-
larging is the only practical one
that our patronage will justify as
long as 90 per cent. of the weekly
papers in the State use this SER
wee and keep the prlceof adver-
tising down at the present low
rates. We have said that we
never would use this kind of SER
vice again, but it is said wise
men change their opinions and
fools never do. Therefore we
have changed our opinion to meet
"a business problem and have no
further apologies TO make. We
shall endeavor togive our readers
a good county paper, and earn
estly solicit the patronage OF
one and all.
We are sending ont this week
a large number of sample copies
and we hope to get one in every
home where the paper is not re-
ceived regularly. We want to
enroll the name of every good
citizen in the county this year,
and atthe rate subscriptions have
been coming in the past few
weeks, we will not miss it very
far. We hope that our readers
will appreciate the additional
reading matter we are giving
them and will help US to make
The FREE Press the best paper
the county ever had. We wish
one and all prosperous
year.

We trust that the board of

matter Of securing a county map
until it secures one. A correct
map would be worth many times
its cost to the county even if we

the fact that we are certain not
to get a soil survey until we
