The Independent added 81
subscribers to it's list last week.
We are printing 1865 papers
this week and the list isgrowing.
We suppose the Reporter will de-
ny this. but then they can be ex-
cused. Notwithstanding what
Bro. Wilson says, the Indepen-
dents list is made up of 800 old
Reporter readers, many Of whom
have ordered that paper stopped.
If Bro. w ilson dares deny this /,
fact, we can bring plenty Of evi-
dence to substantiate what we
say.
