Cumberland Alleganian, called
the attention of it's readers few
days ago to the fact that during
the month of January, q new sub
scribers had been added to its
list, and that, too, without any
special" effort. That's all right
brother. The Alleganian is an
alright paper and deserves sue
cess. But there are others. The
Fulton County News, since the
beginning of the year, 1908, just
80 days-without any bats, pre-.
miums, canvassers, or other
special inducement, has added
fifty three new subscribers.
We do not mention this in q
boastful spirit, for the News is
just what it's friends have made
it, and it is the friends of the
News that are boosting it along.
In the meantime we shall do our
level best to make it worthy of
the confidence and patronage of
the public.
Following we give the names of
those fifty three new subscribers;
and we might in justice to our
selves add, that our books will
show that this is not above the
average of all of last year.
