Most Men who mingie with great
crowds or participate in an event of
many features are absolutely unable
to describe in detail any one particu
lar feature. 1t is then that they find
their weekly newspaper most valuable.
Just so it is with the readers of daily
newspapers; they have not the time or
the inclination to follow every phase
of the weeks events and so turn to a
weekly newspaper for concise and
connected account of any event of
more than local interest. This demand
is easily supplied at small cost by
The Weekly Inter Ocean and Farmer,
which can be obtained with this paper,
one year, for $l.30.
Many have called in and paid up
their accounts, which we appreciate
We hope many more will call soon
and do the same. We will be at the
old place from Q until / o'clock.
