From. Thursdays Daily.
The merchants of this town have
bought enough advertising space in
The Free Press to ensure a whole
page department Of the daily each
Thursday starting with next week.
This will give the people of this
vicinity a splendid service as there
will be sufficient space reserved each
week to give all the news, which VIII
give the readers of this paper much
better record of the happenings than
they have ever enjoyed. The mer-
chants will give special attention to
advertising their goods and will tell
the people of the many bargains they
have to offer each week. Everybody
is invited to send in every item of
news they know and for the present
these items can be left at the bank.
Let everybody cooperate in making
the Judson page in The Free Press a
hummer.
