ANNOUNCEMENT. The Democrat To Be Issued Twice-a-Week Beginning June 1, When Subscription Will Be Raised to $1.50 Per Year, But — All New Subscriptions aiui Renewals Prior To That Date Will Be Received at Old Price off SI.OO Per Year. \ Commencing with June i The Democrat will be issued twice-a-week, Wednesdays and Saturdays. The Wednesday issue will be printed either Tuesday morning or Tuesday afternoon, while the Saturday issue will be printed Friday afternoon the same as at present. The paper will therefore reach all postoffices in the county Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning, and Friday evening or Saturday morning. V The Wednesday issue will, for the present, consist of four pages of six colums each, 24 columnns, and the Saturday issue of eight pages, 48 columns, the same as now. Each issue will be all home print and in addition to city and county news, country correspondence, etc., will contain up-to-date telegraphic news from all over the country, state news, markets, etc., and will make The Democrat nearly twice as good as it is at present —and it now enjoys the distinction of being one of the best county papers published in this section of the state. . This move has been contemplated’ for some time, and now that we have a new Standard Linotype and other equipment sufficient to get out a daily of no mean pretensions should the field at any time justify it, we feel that it is time to put the long contemplated move into operation. By this change we will be able to get the local and county news to our readers in a little fresher state and the addition of telegraphic news, markets, etc., will give our farmer readers almost as good a general news service as though it were a daily—in fact all the news will be there, and boiled down for the busy reader. This move will mean an extra expense of about SIOO per month, and to meet this the subscription price will be raised to $1.50 per year, while advertising rates will be advanced where the advertising goes in both issues. We want to add at least 500 new subscribers to our already big list by the time we begin the twice-a-week, and in order to get them quickly we make the following extraordinary offer: All new subscriptions or renewals (for one year only) received prior to June 1 will be taken at $1 per year! Think off it, 104 papers for $1.00! Less than one cent a copy! All subscriptions now paid in advance will be carried out with the twice-a-week paper, but after June I, 1908, NO RENEWALS WILL BE RECEIVED NOR NEW SUBCRIPTIONS TAKEN FOR LESS THAN $1.50 PER YEAR. Act quickly if you want to “get in” on this remarkable offer. Send or bring in your subscription or renewal and get the first year’s issue of 104 papers for only $1.00! This offer lasts but four weeks, remember, and now is the time to “nail it.” We expect to make the new paper “worth while” and we want all our old \ subscribers who may be in arrears or whose subscription soon expires to come in and renew and tell their neighbor who doesn’t take the paper about this great offer. Only $1.35 will get the twice-a-week issue and the handsome and useful Wall Chart we have been telling you about, until June 1, or as long as the supply of charts now on hand lasts.
