A NEW POWER PRESS. TO ANY READER OF THE PEOPLE’S PILOT: Kind Friend:—Though I have been in charge of the People’s Pilot but a few weeks, I trust that you, with all other readers of it, have noticed the effort to improve it and make it a readable paper. At least I assure you, we are doing our best and promise still further improvement as soon as a new POWER PRESS can be obtained. This is something that it is almost impossible to do without, and you will pardon this direct personal appeal to lend us a helping hand at this extraordinary time. We need the press; we can hardly print our large edition, now a full 2,ooo,without it. With it we could make abetter paper, because of the great saving of time; we could do the printing vastly better, and it would reflect greater credit on the community where it is published. If your subscription is paid in advance, can you not now pay for another year to help the New Press Fund? If your subscription is in'arrears can you not now remit and include for a year in advance. But if you can not pay all that is due, can you not send a part? Possibly you who read this are not a subscriber. If so your kindness in ordering the paper now would be greatly appreciated. Is there not some one that you can get to subscribe without great inconvenience to yourself. Is there not some relative, friend or neighbor to whom you could send the Pilot for a year, and if not for a year, for three or six months. OUR FREE BOOK OFFER. For every dollar received in response to this appeal the sender may select books to the value of 25 cents, as advertised in the People’s Pilot, the Searchlight, Chicago Express, Chicago Sentinel or Nonconformist. We will send the Pilot free, to new names on a three months’ trip, with every purchase of a book worth 25 cents or more. For every $2.00 received we will send free for one year the choice of the following well known and leading reform papers, the regular prices of which are SI.OO per year.

A PERSONAL LETTER. BY THE PILOT PUBLISHING CO. Dear Sir and Brother: —For nearly four years the Pilot Publishing Co. has run the paper without considering whether it was a profitable investment or not, the one great object being to maintain a paper that was in sympathy with farmers and laborers of this and adjoining counties; one that could not be influenced by the tax eaters to neglect the interests of the tax payers. In this they have been content to push the paper forward, often at a loss, until it has been built up to a self sustaining basis. Jan. 1, the office was leased to F. D. Craig, under conditions which assures the patrons a first class paper and guarantees a strict adherence to the cause of the people. Mr. Craig, though having been in charge but two months, has largely increased the subscription list and has demonstrated h’s ability to issue a good paper. He deserves to be sustained and we appeal to you to do all in your power to increase his rapidly growing list, and remember to keep your own small subscription promptly paid, that he may have the means to publish the best paper of which he is capable of making. Particularly does he need money now, for he is laboring under the great drawback of a very slow and imperfect press, and it is his desire to purchase a new’ one on his own account, that he can issue larger editions and do the printing much better, quicker and at less expense. We hope you will assist him all you can and greatly oblige the undersigned, PILOT PUBLISHING COMPANY". Lee E. Glazebrook, Sec’y. D. H. Yeoman, Pres.
