HAVEYOUGOTONE? The Law Books Are Going Like Hot Cakes A GREAT PREMIUM We Have a Few Left So Be Sure and Call Early There has been a great demand for the great premium given away by the Democrat to those who pay their subscription one year in advance. Many of our subscribers have taken advantage of the offer and have secured a book containing a synopsis of all Indiana laws. It is a premium worthy of the consideration of all. It is one which will be a valuable acquisition to the library of any indivdual who cares to be posted on the laws of the state. We still have a number left, and we advise those who have not yet secured one to call early. There is not a farmer or a citizen who is not interested in some of the laws at least of this great state. There is scarcely an individual who during the course of a few months will not have many occasions to refer to a law book and when you can secure a book properly indexed with a synopsis of all the laws by simply paying for a year’s subscription, it is a proposition which should appeal to all. The limited numi her we have left will soon be gobbled i up and if you fail to get one it is not ; a fault of ours. o—
