Here is something that will be to the financial interest of the people of Remington and Carpenter township to remember, and that is that The Democrat has a circulation in Jasper county neatly equal to al! the other papers of the county combined, and in Remington and Carpenter township can give advertisers a larger circulation than their home paper. If you have anything to sell, want to buy, rent or trade for anything, you will make no mistake by advertising the fact in The Jasper County Democrat, where it costs you no more for reaching practically all the people than it does in other sheets to reach a part of them. Try it and be convinced that these are facts. -
