Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 77, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 February 1909 — OUR CORRESPONDENCE PAGE. [ARTICLE]

OUR CORRESPONDENCE PAGE.

The Democrat is Indeed proud of its able corps of country correspondents, some of whom have been with us almost all the time since the establishment of this paper, nearly eleven years. News of their own neighborhood is the first thing the readers of a paper turn to, and this featue of The Democat makes the paper doubly welcome to the homes of country and outside town subscribers as well as to those now residing in far off states but who used to live in Jasper county, and accounts for the great circulation of The Democrat in the country districts of the county and its large single list—papers sent to former residents of the county now living elsewhere—who want to know what ;is doing back in their old, neighborhood.

This special feature will not only be kept up to its former standard in the future, but we expect to improve and extend it until every town and hamlet in Jasper county is represented regularly. This week, in this edition, we have news • from fifteen different towns and neighborhoods, some of which have not recently been represented but where we have now secured regular correpondents, and in Wednesday’s issue there were 3, making a total of 18 in the two issues, about 10 columns, or 1 % pages. We ask our readers to compare the regular features of The Democrat with that of any other county seat paper published in a city of similar size to Rensselaer, and have no fears of the verdict. The Democrat is but $1.50 per year, two issues a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and if you are not already a subscriber we Invite you to become one. By reference to our clubbing list in another part of this issue you may find some other paper you would like to take in connection with The Democrat, and can save enough by taking the two together to get The Democrat at a very nominal price.
