tom with publishing houses, to
give their larger stockholders
further interest in the pub
ications by making them life sub
scribers. We have not offered an in
ducement of this kind, as our stock
has been selling steadily at par, and
we did not realize, until recently,
that anybody expected it; but from
letters which we have received, we
believe that some of our stock-hold-
ers would feel better if they were
placed permanently on our subscrip-
ton list. For every fifty dollars
worth Of stock subscribed we will
enter the stockholders name for
five years subscription to both of
our publications, and for every one
hundred dollars worth of stock sub
scribed we will enter the name for
life, with the understanding, of
course, that there is to be no trans
fer of this subscription.
The first issue of the Progressive
Democrat, weekly paper published
by us, appeared last week. In this
paper Mr. Watson will deal with
State issues and local matters, and
we presume nearly all our friends in
Georgia will be interested and wish
to become subscribers. The price is
onyl so cents year
The JeffersOnian from now on will
become more and more a paper on
national matters, dealing with those
issues which affect the nation at
large.
We find that some Of our subscrib-
ers have made complaint to the jeff
ersonians about their subscriptions
or premiums, and they say they are
not receiving replies to their letters.
1t seems that some of our mail, from
time to time, goes astray. This may
be due to the fact that Thomson has
an unfortunate resemblance to Thorn
aston, Thomas, Thomasville and
other places. About a couple of
months ago I subscribed to the Liter
airy Digest, a magazine with very
large circulation. Didn't receive it.
Wrote about it two or three times,
and did not receive any reply. Final
ly they said that | was on their mail
ing list all right. To-day I got a card
from them saying that the magazine
had been going to Thomasville, and
they had just discovered their error.
[ merely mention this SO that you will
see we are not alone in the matter of
making errors, and not correcting
them promptly. But, when man
writes here, no matter what the sub
ject may be, he ought to have an ma
sWer. He is entitled to one as a mat
ter of courtesy, and We will establish,
this week, a Complaint Department to
which all complaints, changes of ad-
dresses, errors, ETC., will be referred;
but if We don't receive the letter. of
course, we cannot answer it. So I
will ask if you don't receive prompt
attention from our Complaint Depart
ment, to drop line to me, address
ing your letter simply Jas. Lanier,
Thomson, Go. This letter will go
into a different box from The Jeff
ersOnian box, and will be delivered to
me personally. In that way I can
keep track of lost mail.
I have just sold one scholarship in
a big business college of Louisville,
Ky. That leaves me with two or
three on hand available at various
towns in the South. In Alabama
Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky,
Arkansas, etc. These scholarships
will be sold at very low cash price,
or they can be obtained for a certain
lumber of subscriptions to The jeff
ersOnians.
