We Mean Business.
The public is quick to apreciate an
article of merit, and when the publishers
of the State Journal began offering
their semi-weekly at only 81 per year,
the same price that others ask for their
weeklies which only give half as many
papers, tho subscription list doubled in
a few months, and has since been grow
ing with wonderful rapidity, leaving the
oldtashion weeklies away behind.
People don’t see any use in waiting a
whole week for the news when they can
get it fresh twice a week for the same
money. Readers of the Semi-Weekly
Journal get 104 papers a year for their
81, which is less than one cent per copy,
and they find the paper almost as good
as a daily. If you have not yet tried
this great paper, do so at once. It gives
you the markets twice each week, which
alone is worth the price. Some of our
special offers are: 'The Journal and
either the Standard History of the
United States, Stanley’s Adventures in
Africa, Life of Spurgeon, or Life of
Harrison, handsomely bound books,
postage all paid, for 81.40. The Journal
and Weekly New York Tribune, both
one year, $ 1.85. For 82 we will send
the Journal two years and one of the
above books free; for two new subscrib
ers (your own name can.be one of them)
we will send you any one of the aboye
books tree; for 81.65 we will send you
the Journal and Tribune, and any one
of the books. We mean business and
uui unci a aiu n^ui uuwu iu uaiu* lime
prices. Send for a free sample at once.

Town Topics, that brilliant, spicy,
though sometimes slightly naughty
society journal, published in New York,
makes the following announcement:
With the first issue in March Town
Topics will be permanently enlarged to
thirty-two pages. Although it is gener
ally conceded that already this journal
had become the most complete, varied
and entertaining to men and women of
culture of any weekly ever published,
yet the publisher, grateful for the
extraordinary favor with which the
higher class of readers, not alone in
America, but wherever English is read,
has received Town Topics, will be con
tent only with renewed and greater
efforts to produce a journal unap
proached in breadth of scope and excel
lence of literature. Arrangements are
now completed with twenty-five of the
most distinguished writers of fiction to
contribute short stories and serials to its !
columns. Among them are such world
famed authors as Amelie Rives, Mary J.
Hawker (‘Lanoe Falconer”), F. Marion
Crawford, Fdgar Fawcett, Julian Haw
thorne, Ambrose Bierce, Hamlin Gar
land, Paul Llndau, Catulle Mendes,
Francois Coppee, Anatole France, etc.
Hereafter each number of Town
Topics will contain a short story, and a
serial by one or the other of these enter
taining litteratures. There will be no !
curtailment of tbe varied and interest- I
ing matter that has heretofore gained <
for the journal the unique and exalted I
position it now holds in current litera- j
ture.
