Douglas, Ga., Aug. 24, ’99.
Dear Sir :
We insert professional cards, 12
[months $5.00.
Subscription to Breeze 12 months
[ $ 1.00.
Ciieck us for $1.25 first quarter
and the work will commence at
once. Advertising and subscrip
tions are two different items. Ad
vertisements at “lowest rates” does
not include paper.
Awaiting your further order we
are Respectfully yours.
J. M. Freeman A Daughters.
We just publish above cor
respondence, without name of
course, to show the general reader
how publishers are expected to
work, to get a little patronage, but
which does not work with us.
Country papers have long had a
rule of furnishing the paper to ad
vertisers free, hut not since the
prices of advertising was cut in
half. Ten years ago a professional
card cost SIO.OO per annum, and
the paper was included. Now a
professional card of one inch goes
for $5.00, but no paper is included.
A newspaper the size o* the Breeze,
for twelve months cost J&c without
postage, leaving only 22c for our
work on eacli copy. A paper like
the Breeze was last year, cost 30c,
and at that rate, could be given
free to advertisers. But as the
Breeze is to-day it goes to no man
or $5.00 advertiser free.
Settle Your Taxes.
The books for the collection of ad valo
rem taxes will be closed on the first day
of September. After that day executions
will be issued. By order of Council.
O. Rudolph,
Clerk.
City Court Proceedings.
City court convened on Monday.
Several misdemeanor cases were
disposed of, recruiting tlie chain
gang to some extent.
The case of A. W. Warren
charged with carrying a pistol to
the court-ground, resulted in a ver
vict of guilty with recommenda
tion to mercy in view of which Mr.
Warren was let off with a light
fine, which will impress him and
others to leave their weapons be
hind when going to court.
The case of the State vs. M.
King, charged with assault and
battery upon Col. W. W. McDon
ald excited great interest. Mr.
Q.uincey aided Solicitor Osteen
in the prosecution. Ward and
Crawley defended. Good speeches
were made on both sides but es
pecially by Judge Ward who w ant
ed not only that the defendant be
acquitted but that the prosecutor be
charged with the cost. The jury
brought in a verdict of acquittal
but did not put the cost on the
prosecutor. Mitch, of course, was
l)<# yn.
Several civil cases were disposed
of in the two days the court was in
session.
