EXTRA WRONG FONTS
By Scoop.

Scoop likes to take exception to
things that he knows are taking in too
much territory, and he saw one of
these things last week camouflaged
as news article on the front page of
newspaper, blazoning forth the
merits of that particular sheet.
Forty-two years a subscriber to
this particular paper, the editor
boasts, and in further boastfulness
asks, "Who can beat it," After a
challenge like that, Scoop combed the
old files and records of The Republi-
can and found many names of sub.
scribers as old and as well paid up as
the single one he boasts of.
Just One Example
Truman W. Casteel, of near town
was subscriber to The Republican
on March 3, 1877, the day the first is.
sue of the paper appeared. That was
over so years ago, and he still sub.
scribes and is still paid up. This is
only one OF many.
Readers, please notice that this is
not on the front page, that it is moi
camouflaged news item, and that il
is Scoops own thoughts.
