WORDS OF CHEER. The Journal has
been favored Of late by its subscribers and
friends, verbally and in writing. with many
expressions of appreciation and good Will.
Last week a Lewiston, Me-, subscriber
wrote: sit is eighteen years since The Jour
nal began its welcome visits to me, and II
by chance copy fails to come at the regu-
lar time l am just as uneasy as L can be
until it makes its appearance. L feel as
though | had lost a friend. And how any
Belfaster away from home can enjoy life
without the weekly visits of The Journal
is a mystery to me. Long may it prosper
in all good work and may it always be
found on the side of right and justice is the
prayer of an old subscriber
THE TRIBUNE FARMER. Many of our
readers now have this excellent farm and
home weekly in connection with The Jour
nal, and many more would pay their sub
scription in advance and secure it free if
they knew what a valuable publication it is.
We had a contract with the publishers I'M
der which we were enabled to furnish 1t
free to all subscribers paying s. for The
Republican journal one year in advance;
but recent ruling of the post office depart
ment will not permit of this price after
March 81, 1906. All subscriptions received
by us in season to reach New York prior to
the close of business March 81, 1906, will be
taken at the old rate. After that time the
price for The journal and Tribune Farmer
will be 1926.
