The Burnettsville News, a weekly paper published at Burnettsville, has announced that on and after July 1 its subscription price will be raised from SI.OO to $1.50 per year. In speaking of the advance in price the Monticello Herald says: “The News • has discovered, along with other papers, that a SI.OO paper will not pay for itself, especially with the present prices of print paper and printing material. More than a year ago the Herald announced the $1.50 rate to all and its subscription list is much larger now than it was at that time. People do not object to paying for a paper if it measures up to the standard it should.” Subscribe for The Democrat.
