TO SUBSCRIBERS OF THE
DEMOCRAT:

Recently all newspaper publishers
have received blanks from the post
office department at Washington on
which to make sworn statement as
to the number of papers being sent
TO subscribers who are more than a
year in arrears. In order to make
clean report we are sending out
statements of account to all of such
subscribers and trust that they will
respond promptly. Much as any
publisher dislikes to cut a name off
his subscription list, he is compelled
to do so unless the rule laid down by
the postoffice department is complied
with. Respectfully yours,
Crawford Bros, Publishers.

development. Specimens of old mining
stocks and of other printed and manu-
script matter relating to mining in
former days, will also be very &C

hand tools in use by miners are also
solicited.
Doubtless there are at present hidden
away in many homes specimens of
some of the above classes which are of
no value to their owners, but which if

to thousands of visitors to its halls.
Citizens having specimens which they
are willing to donate or deposit are
requested to communicate with Mr..
Charles f. Brown, chief of the museum
at Madison All gifts will be appro-
priately acknowledged. The present
