All the Cass County News For many years the Journal has devoted a page weekly to chronicle the news of Murray and vicinity. In fact this was the first outside depart ment established and dates back at least fifteen years without a break of a single week. Later departments were established for Union, Nehaw ka, Greenwood, Murdoek, Alvo and Manley with more or less intermit tent news from such smaller com-; munities as Mynard, Cedar Creek and South Bend. A traveling field repre-j sentative is kept on the go from early Monday morning till late Saturday night covering this list of Cass coun ty towns and chronicling the happen ings of interest in each. You know, without being told, that this is a ser vice mat costs money, lei u is ireeiyi given to the end that Journal readers ' may be at all times fully informed on nearby neighboring towns. This is ; coupled with a de luxe county seat news service that includes court , house doings, official proceedings of j the county commissioners, etc. Think of the improvement made in our news service in the last ten years and then consider that the cost is no higher j than it was then the same as you j Lave to pay for an ordinary weekly : newspaper with its four pages of patent print while the Journal is j delivered to you twice a week sir to twelve pages each issue all for only $2 a year. Xo one can really afford , to be without this great Cass county newspaper when it can be procured j for such a trifling sum.
