When we charged dollar for
subscription we could take the
dollar and buy from five to six
dozen eggs. Now we get $3.50
for the paper and can buy only
three dozen eggs with the amount.
The same is true with nearly
everything we have to buy but
some people still think $3.50 is too
much for the paper.-Winston
County Journal.) When The Adj
vertiser was forced by the heavy
advance in price of paper, ink and
everything else that goes into the
makeup Of a newspaper, to ad-
vance it's subscription rate it fully
expected that there would be dis
satisfaction and that some sub
scribers might drop out. But. on
the contrary, we have heard no
kicks whatever all subscribers
recognizing the fact that it was
impossible to maintain q paper at
the one dollar a year rate. The
Advertiser is enjoying a very
healthy growth in subscriptions.
and none hesitate to pay $3.50 or
consider the rate too high.-Lex-
ington Advertiser.

ROBERT L. THERRELL FOR
CIRCUIT CLERK

The first candidate to announce
for Circuit Clerk is Robert l..
Therrell, of Florence, whose
name will be found under the
proper heading this week.
Mr.. Therrell is young man,
born and reared at Florence, and
comes from one of the best fami-
lies of the county. He is a gradu-
ate of the Stems Greek High
school, and attended Mississippi
College at Clinton for two years.
His educational qualifications are
therefore ample to render effici-
ent service in this office.
When the United States became
involved in the European war,
young Therrell never waited for
the selective draft, but realizing
that his country was in danger,
immediateld volunteered his SER
vices as private, and went to
the first training camp he could
get in. By his ability and excel
lent bearing, his worth was soon
recognized, and he was made a
Corporal, and then a Sergeant.
and at the close of hostilities he
had the honor of being a Lieu
tenant and Instructor. He recent
ly received an honorable dis
charge from military service, and
decided to enter the race for Clerk
Having served his country so
bravely and we'll at a perilous
time in it's history, he deserves the
honor he seeks, and will no doubt
have a strong following.
The News does not believe that
any mistake will be made in elect
ing this competent young man to
the office of Circuit Clerk.
