An old subscriber and good friend of
ours, in congratulating us on the recent
improvement in the paper, said that we
were now printing the best county paper

pays for his paper cash in advance every
year.
Primitive man dwelt in trees; to see

Fewer gallons wears longer.

the apples sold here are Reformed-all

are certainly giving US fine paper now.
1t is the best county paper I know of. I
congratulate you"
