I therefore enclose, please find? etc. Having anticipated the pleasure- of a small visit to the old home town which did not materialize, is the reason I did not remit before this, but presume that even an editor is glad to get paid at Christmas or any other time. The paper itself has something of personhl interest to me yet on oc easiohs although the greater number of names obtaining mention therein are total strangers to me. in the past year I saw that some of my old school teachers were hack in Rensselaer for brief visits and that news in itself with the many memor ies which were aroused was worth the price of the year’s subscription. What man in the 40’s would not like to see and talk with, one of his old school teachers, and when he can't do that a bit of Information is thankfully received as a substitute.

Who knows? Wishing you a merry Christmas and many prosperous New Years to The Republi can I remain respectfully, PAUL N. TROY, . . ■ 6122 S. Lincoln St, Chicago, 111
