Brook Reporter Gives Some Straight Shots.

News print paper has advanced over 100 per cent. Ink, and printer’s supplies have done as well. Many papers are advancing their price for subscription. Others are cutting down the size of the paper. We cannot carry you for years any longer. We have accommodated you. Why not help us? Everything in your line of business has advanced. With the newspaper it has become a matter of existing. Why take your newspaper like salvation, and makes us foot the bill. We publish the statement once that there was no record of a newspaper man in any state prison.\)ne of our subscribers asked if we had any record of any of them in heaven. What could you expect for a man who has to write what would comfort the relatives and friends, and have in mind five or six years of back subscription due from the deceased. Take a look at your date at the head of this paper. The last figure will tell the yfehr when you paid last.—Brook Reporter.
