What a Dollar and a Half Will Do.

This :1s the time or year when many people begin to approximate their expenditures for the ensiling twelve jnonths. What of your expenditures? Have you considered what a dollar and a half will buy, and what a feast of information it will give you? —f - Let us think a few thoughts., i A dollar and a half will pay for one hundred and four issues of this paper. , And what will the paper do for you? It will be a regular semi-weekly visitor to your home—rain or shine, —in good weather or foul—in prosperity or adversity. It will tell you what the town and county authorities are doing, of the improvements they are making, of the manner in which they are expending the people’s funds. It will tell you of business conditions, of crops, of the state of the markets, of all that is needed in the conducting of public and private affairs.

It will tell you of the births, of the marriages, of the deaths, and ol the sickness of your relatives and friends. It will tell you of the business opportunities of the community, of the public salps, of the transfers of real estate, and of many other such details in which you have a personal interest. It will report conditions among the stock, and the chickens, and the hogs, and of everything that walks on feet. It will tell you what your neighbors are doing, what others farther away are doing, what the community at large is doing. And it will tell others what you and your family are doing. It will tell you of the activity of he churches, and of the societies, and lodges, and of public gatherings of every nature. It will tell you of the strangers within our gates, and of your visits to other climes. It will tell you of everything worth knowing in our entire community, throughout your circle of acquaintances, and it will tell you all of these things one hundred and four times a year. Is there any place where you can spend a dollar and a half to better advantage than to invest it in a year of this paper?
