To Correspondents.

We feel very kindly toward our
correspondents throughout the coun-
ty, aud while we would be pleased at
all times TO extend to them our SER
vices in any personal matter, we must
call their attention to the fact that we
cannot print notices of church aud
social affairs. that are OF a money
making character, without charging
| for it.
The United States postal authori-
ties have notified MS that all such
must be marked Advertisement, and
| therefore when we cut out from the
local letters such notices, it will! be
understood by our correspondents
why. We know that those having
charge of these affairs are coming to
orr correspondents and asking them
to send in these notices and they will
have to place the excuse for refusal
on the publisher. aud we do not want
to get in trouble with the postal au-
thorities and have them refuse to
carry our paper.
Correspondents can inform those
who want such notices in, that six
words constitute one line and the
cost will be ten cents per line. If the
advertisement is for church affair
we make it five cents for them, but
this positively only applies to church
affairs.
The postal authorities are making il
necessary for the publisher to use the
utmost caution, or he will have the
mailing privileges revoked. 1t is the
rule of the newspapers in Fleming
ton to charge for all reading notices
OF the character referred to, and we
cannot treat one section one way and
another section directly opposite.
The rule will be strictly adhered to.
We quote the above from the Hun
terdon Democrat and it covers the
ground as completely IN Lambertville
as elsewhere.

est TO the audience. Let us not re-

ocratic free trade be used to carry
from the places of free public distri-
button thin soup for the sustenauce of
that same worker and his family.
Such was the history of the last Dem
ocratic administration: not far away,
where one must read about it in or

live to testify to it,

one for protection, the other for free
trade. Let every worker remember
this and vote on election day for his
