HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY. j. A. FOK'HK Publtaher. K. li. .JOHNSON Editor. Entered at the postoflic* at McDon •ufh, aa *econd-clasa mail mattar. Advertising Rate*: »1.00 per lack per month. Redaction on standing aaertiacU by special agreement. mrmjs i lj -- - = McDonough, Ga , Feb. 7, 1008. Special to Our Subscribers. The post office department has issued a decree which very greatly concerns us and our subscribers. Publishers of weekly papers are not allowed to send their papers to subscribers who are more than a year in arrrears on subscription, at pound rates. If they violate this rule they will be fined one cent, for each four ounces of such mail. Therefore, after this notice and a reasonable time to hear from statements sent out, we shall cut ofi' all our subscribers who are more than a year behind. This wilt affect quite a number of our readers. Subscribers will under stand then why wo press collec tions at yhce and will not grow afi gry, if they should be dropped lrom our list if they neglect to re spond promptly to this notice. This is a government ruling and not ours ; and we must adhere to it strictly. We are law abiding citizens. Look at your lable and remit at once. % A newspaper has 5,000 readers for each 1,000 subscribers. A mer chant who puts out 1,000 handbills gets possibly 400 people to read— that is, if the boy who is trusted to distribute them does not chuck them under the sidewalk. The handbills erst, as much as a half column advertisement in the home paper. All the women and girls and half the men and boys read the advertirements. Result: The merchant who uses the newspaper lias 3,500 more readers of each 1,000 of the paper's readers. There is no estimating iue amount oi business That auvortis-eg docs bring to a merchant, but each dollar brings somewhere from to SIOO worth ot business —Exchange. iiOEE BOD* (Last week's lotto Messrs. .1 li Carr and J E Spray berry passed through our section lasi Monday.
