Every Farmer and Citizen Should
Have His Name and POst-OfiICe
Printed on His Envelopes.

Every farmer or citizen for that
matter, should have his name aud
post o flee printed Oh bis envelopes
and the paper be or his family use
in their correspondence, thus avoid
ing any mistake in reply. On all
rural routes nearly everywhere this
custom is being practiced and ap-
proved Of. when too, il is found to
be so much cheaper than buying
PLAIN paper and envelopes by the
small quantity.
Here is our proposition:
To every one subscribing or re-
newing their subscription to the
R ECORD-PREsS, We will give 100
envelopes and $50 sheets Of nice note
paper, with your name and address
and whatever you want to say on

The envelopes and paper alone
would cost 81. 90 anywhere without
the printing and by taking advantage
OF this offer you get the RECORD
PRESS one year TO any address,
together with 100 nice envelopes and
$50 sheets Of paper for 81 80
We promise as mo IN care ~ pleas
ing you as If yon wer"re paying fill
price. In other word 8 we will guar
autee to please you.
We are making this Low offer that
We ~sS hold yscsy subscriber
aud secure AS mspv new ones rs pos
sible. We are anxious to increase
our circulation from its already pres.
ent high mark, and feel that this is
the best way to do it.
Now of course you can not get
your work the day you subscribe and
order it, But your name will be en-
tered with a copy Of what you want
and in few days at The outside limit
your work will be done and done to
please you. There is scarcely fam
lily IN Crittenden county that will not
spend twice this amount in the run
of year for paper aud envelopes
without the printing.
Should there be those who want
only the 100 envelopes with the
RECORD. PRESS, the total cost will
be 1925.
We nave ordered a tremendous
stock of envelopes and paper for

though he had hen very successful
in his ~professiod. For the funeral a
new ~preacherfn the town was select
ed so that ne would not know just
what kira Of a man the lawyer had
been.
~ preacher arrived and asked a
standing by, who was pretty
much of a wag, what sort of a man
the lawyer had been. The wag laud-
ed the lawyer to the skies. The
preacher believed all he said, o
and pronounced a poetic eulogy of
the departed barrister. When he had
heard all he could stand to hear with
out unburdening himself to some one
present, tpe judge of the court in
