Friends we are in need of the money now and ask of yon to come forward now and set tie like a man. Having employed a first-class newspaper man to assist us with ths work of giving you a good pa per we must have the money with which to compensate him for his labors. The paper shall not lack in reading matter ns you will note from issue to issue,and as the hoi iday season is approaching we trust you will remember us after lingering the woleyear to give y :u a paper that is well worth tlm price we ask for it. Our Mr. Booker is a man of family and we will gladly accept any farm pro¬ duce you may wish to dispose of at market prices. Such as pota¬ toes, eggs, chickens, etc., and even ha.._gjadly_accepwd. is impossible to make a good pa jper with nothing, Consider the paper and ink bills, house rent, wood and postage hills and a mini -bar of others that must be paid in order to print the paper and we are sure you will come to our aid at once. Remnniber we believe the cause we advocate is juet and right and the time is not far -distant when we shall see our labors triumph, in fact the silver lining behind the dark cloud is already showing and men who once opposed u» are to day advocates of some it' not all of our principles. So come to see us at the same old stand where we are still banging away for the peo pie in whose welfare we are a stock¬ holder. Child Burned to Death.
