SUBSCRIPTION RATE

There seems to be a misunb ¬t

derstanding among a few of our citypatrons as to the subscription rate to

The News when it is delivered by carI jiers In the city the rate is 10

Cents per week or 45 cents per monthby mail the rate is 300 per year or25 cents per month

T4edifference in the rate to city sub-

scribers¬

by carrier and the mail de ¬

livery is caused by the difference incost to The News In the city theboys must be paid for the delivering

Iand the collector for making the col ¬

rhlection While on the r1ral routes

rall jhis expense is done away withand nothing is to be paid except the

x postage which is by the POUIid1TH ELECTION
