THURSDAY JUNE 15. 1905. TH AT M AIL ;BOX. This office has presented and posted in a conspicuous place a mail box at the home of each of its city’s readers. The box serves a double purpose, that of making a safe receptical for the carriers to deposit our evening edition. and it also stands out in bold relief in advertising the Dailv Democrat as the popular newspaper of Decatur. The fellow who starts out to count the boxes will find six hundred of them working within the confines of the city limits, and should he want to know with accuracy our circula- ■ lion in the city, he will have to ' add to that the stores, offices and the few residences where a box could not be conveniently adjusted Our circulation in the city, is but an index as to how completely we cover the twenty-eight routes that , deposit at the farmers' home, his . daily mail. While there is no par- , ticnlar argument upon the subject, yet we can not fail to swell up a little by reminding you that we are the people. We print all the local news and have a regular tele graphic service, that gives you the news of the world before the big city dailies.
