TO OUR ADVERTISERS

Since the beginning of the Euro
pean war the cost of print paper, limo
type metal, printing inks, plaes, cuts,
and even to the small item of paste
used in a commercial way in the pro-
duction of printed matter, has been
increased from the manufacturer to
the consumer, the advance in some
cases being as high as 100 per. cent.
The printing freternity has borne this
increase uncomplainingly, because
they had no recourse. Now they are
beginning to. advance their advertis-
ing rates.
The News, in view of existing cir
cumstances, feels compelled to ad.
vance it's advertising rates to meet
the Increased cost of production. Our
printing plant has been greatly i'm
proved in the past year or two by the
addition of expensive printing ma.
chinery and other improvements have
been ESSENTIAL to the pu-to-date plant
and our subscription list has been
doubled.
The cost of advertising has already
been increased to foreign advertis.
ers, and from now on will go into
effect on long time contracts that
have been going for years at old
rates.
This increase will be on display ad
vertisements only, and will not be
made to apply to local advertising
Our rates on reaAing notices, etc.,
will remain the same.
We feel sure the advertising pub
lie will understand and appreciate
our position.

PARIS VS.. LEXINGTON.

For some reason Cor lack of rea-
SOM there has gone abroad in Paris
and Bourbon County the impression
that Lexington will vote dry in the
coming election on September 28th.
That this idea is erroneous is prac-
tically proven by the recent Congress
siOnal election when j. c. Cantrill,
known as the liquor candidate, de-
feated Claude M. Thomas, the dry
candidate in EVERY precinct in Fay
OF Lexington, in a conversation with
a Paris man few lays ago, declared
that Lexington would go wet beyond
doubt, and added that it was adj
mitted there by some of the advo-
Gates of Prohibition.
Accepting it as true that Lexing-
ton will vote wet, it would be impos-
sible to conceive the amount of rev.
enue which will DRIFT into the Golfers
of that city from Bourbon County if
this county should go dry. With Lex
ington wet and Paris dry, which up to
now has been able to compete so sue
cessfully with Lexington in civic i'm
provement, in financial enterprise
and increase in population, would
gradually become no more than a
suburb of that city. Capitalists
could never be induced to invest
money in a town where the people
were so asleep to their own interests
as to voluntarily vote out on eof the
principal sources of income.
Saloon license granted in Paris
add the princely sum of $4,000
yearly to the city's revenue. Will
the advocates of prohibition be will
ing to put up" the additional taxes
to supply the deficit in the city's
treasury which they are so anxious
to bring about? If not, from what
source is the money to come?
whisky men in Lexington, it is un-
derstood, are doing much to create
the false impression that Lexington
will go dry in order 10 delude Paris
and Bourbon County into voting dry,
so that when in reality the Fayette
capital polls it's big wet majority,
Paris and Bourbon County will be
proven but dupes of Lexington's
greed for increased revenue.

largest steel mills of that district.
which has been closed down several
weeks, has resumed operations. 1t
is further announced that all mills
in operation in the Pittsburg field are
taking on more men to meet the in
creased demand for steel.
More striking and even more sig
nifcant is the announcement by the
management of the great plant of the
National Tube Company, at McKees-
port, Pa, that operations will be re-
sumed with full force on full time
tomorrow. In addition, two welding
furnaces will be started with Il full

\ REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE
a Rat Story.

The editor wishes il understood i'm
the beginning that he is not the au-
thor of the following story, but that
one of the finest and best women of
the county furnished the data, viz.
Mrs. +. King Crockett. Mrs. Crockett
is not now, never has been, and never
expects TO be II member of the Ana
Mas Club, unless this story lands her
and it should not, for she is lady
whose integrity for truthfulncss is
beyond all question. We are careful
to state the case thusly, for the rea-
son that the writer has been elected
n member of the Ananias Club long
ago, and the story would likely be
questioned if he told it himself.
Mrs. Crockett called ut the Office
one day last week, and stated that
one of her hens persisted in Setting"
and repeated efforts, even to remov-
ing her eggs, failed to break her. and
the man mt the barn had tried repeat
edly and failed to catch her. She
seemed determined to set, and re.
fused to vacatc. One day last week
Mrs. Crockett's son, Edward, found
old Speck on the nest again, and
shooed her Off, when behold! there
were 5 big rats in the nest in the hay.
He counted them as theyscampered
away. Then it was explained why the
old hen refused to leave the nest. Sine
had been lowering these rats all the
time, after her eggs were removed.
ihis is the story, and is vouched for
by Mrs. Crockett. Is there another
such case on record? That old hen
might be utilized to collect rats. She
beats trap away yonder!

BLUEF|fLD HAVING
A REAL DROUGHT
elimination of Prohibition SEN
timent is Reached, Closing
Saloons in West Virginia.

Bluefcld, w. Va, June 3O.-In
compliance with the constitutional en-
actment which closed every licensed
saloon in West Virginia at midnight,
the liquor stores of Bluefeld shut
their doors early, not to reopen. Every
one of the twelve places had either
sold out their stocks, or had shipped
them to Pocahontas, Va, by nine
o'clock, notwithstanding the fact that
the city ordinance provided that they
could keep open until eleven o'clock.
For two days the saloons have done
n rushing business, and packages in
almost every conceivable form have
been carried away from the places
whore liquor was dispensed. People
came here from the country districts
every train being crowded, and much
of the liquor sold was carried out of
the city.
There was considerable drunken
ness, hut the disorder resulting there
from was slight. Several drunken
persons We're locked up.
The saloon men accepted the sit
uation with equanimity. Early this
morning they hcgan removing their
signs, and in some cases their stock
and fixtures, which were shipped to
Pocahontns, where they will go in
business.
Some five or six Bluelicld saloon-
Keepers are moving To Pocahontas,
which now has twenty-five licensed
saloons. Crepe was hung on the door
of the Matt hotel bar, where il re-
manned throughout the evening.
There was no public demonstration
ON the part of the "drys." There was
II general disposition toward law an
forccment in Blueiield and it is gen
orally conceded that the prohibition
enactment will be obcycd here.

Tote Fair and Square.

A subscriber has the right to dis

neglect to pay back dues before he

that a subscriber refuses to take his
paper from the office, when he owes
back dues. He pays no attention to
statements and duns sent him. The
amount is too small to justify war
rant, and the amount is lost to the

well grounded that the subscriber is
