AMONG HERALD SUBSCRIBERS Subscription business was unusual ly alack during the summer and ear ly fall, but the many friende of The Herald will be pleased to know that K has been a great improvement within the last few weeks. Old sub scribers are renewing their sub flcriptfona and we have been getting quite a number of new subscribers lately, with prospects that the num ber of new subscribers will continue to come in at frequent Intervals, which we trust they will. James I'otmesil of lxmg l.ake has been one of The Herald's friends for a good while and has given the paper considerable patronage In the way of advertising and printing, but on account of taking so many other papers has not been a subscriber un til last Saturday. He called at our office while in town and subscribed, paying $3.00, for which he has a re ceipt on subscription to January 1, 1914, and also has one of the prem ium wall charts. a a Mrs. M. E. Bernhardt, 401 Toluca avenue, is one of a number of sub scribers that paid last week to Jan uary 1, 1913. a a .a A. Gregory, one of the C. B. ft Q. dispatchers at Alliance, is one of The Herald's reliable subscribers; that is, he can always be relied up on for a word of encouragement and hts patronage to help the paper along. He was the first caller last Monday morning to pay on subscrip tion. He left $3.00 and took one of the premium wall charts with him. C. E. Wilson of Ellsworth and young Mr. Aspden, who works for him, rode up to Alliance on horse back last Thursday. While in town they favored The Herald office with a call. Mr. Wilson ordered his name placed on our subscription list, paying for the paper to January 1, 1913. H. I. Dalnton orders his Herald sent to Ong, Nebraska. He does not inform us whether he has loca ted in that place but we suppose he hate. NOT IN THE HERALD BUILDING Mention was made In the Alliance papers latt week of the arrest of seven persons for playing poker a week ago last Saturday night. We discover that there Is a mlsunder standing In town in regard to where the game was being played and the arrests made. It was in the rear of the building at 206 Box Butte ave nue, occupied by a barber shop, the building formerly occupied by The Herald. The Herald Is now located at 121 Box Butte avenueand it hap pens that there Is a barber shop in the same building. The report that the poker game was in the rear of a barber shop in The Herald building has lead some to think that it was in the building now occupied by The Herald office, which is incorrect. We make this explanation, not that we car anything about the exact spot where the game was pulled off and the arrests made, but simply to correct the misunderstanding above mentioned. P. O. CLERKS WANT SUNDAY Farmers, take your but ter and eggs to the Fair Store and get the highest market price. Dr. Boland, phone 65. For several years post post office clerks and others have agitated the question of dispensing with the dis tribution of malls on Sunday. The dispensing with Sunday mails has re ceived an Indorsement so nearly un iversal that it has been a surprise to those who favor as well as to those who oppose. It seems that a good many people who make use of the Sunday mall would prefer to dis continue doing so if others, especial ly their competitors, would also cut It out. As far as this paper is con cerned we are opposed to unneces sary Sunday work, not only from a moral view point, but from an econ omic stand point as well. We be lieve that, on the whole, six days of labor and one of rest will produce as much in results in Industrial or commercial pursuits as seven days of labor without an intervening day of rest. STORK VISITS ALLIANCE On last Saturday evening the stork called upon Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Kl .sass, while they were visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Boone in this city. He left for theJr comfort and care a ten and a half pound bahy boy, who has been named Merle Clinton. Leave your order at the Co Oper iatve for assorted case can goods and get regular case prices. WE TAKE IT BACK Last week The Herald stated that the Alliance police force had arrest ed seven sports. We were mistak en. There were stx sports and one four-flusher. The person reporting the Incident to The Herald furnish ed us with the names of ihe seven persons and requested that they be published but we could not see that the publication of those ' names would do any good, and passed the matter up, mentioning the incident as a matter of news and in a way that we thought would be appreciated by the seven persons concerned. While we do not sanction the violation of law in any way, we do not think that playing a friendly game of poker Is the worst thing in the world, or In Alliance, and thought the boys had been sufficiently punished with the fine without having the newspaper make an unnecessary thrust at them. Six of them seem to have appreciat ed our position in the matter and have acted like real sports but the other evidently does not know when he is treated well. CAU3E FOR THANKSGIVING We are pleased to note that Miss Jean Stuckey, the eleven year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Stuckey, whose illness has covered the period of the past seven weeks. Is now recovering and all hopes are entertained for her recovery. A common cold developed into diphtheria, and this disease left the little girl's system depleted, the heart especially being weakened. The many friends of the family will rejoice with them this Thanks giving day that their number is unbroken. FAIRVIEW W. C. T. U. The Falrvlew W. C. T.
