We're in a Hurry.
Even when a newspaper Is grow
ing like the Lincoln Daily Ne, us
publishers are not satisfied but
want thousands of farmers and other
state folks to be rending It, and the
quickest was Is to make a cheap
trial offer in the hope that they
will like the paper and keep taking It.
The offer beats all, only 25 cents for
a dally newspaper from now until
the close of the legislature, April 1.
1900. We stop It then unless you
send In money to renew It. Don't
pay your money to strangers for any
newspaper. Send direct to the news
paper or hand It to your postmaster.
The Lincoln Dally News Is always a
live one, but Just now during the
legislature, you will get a dollar's
worth for your trial quarter, and If
you decide then not to stay with us.
we're the loser, but we want you to
try It, even If we do lose money on
your trial. If you do not say the
News Is the plainest, frankest, and
fairest paper you know of, we miss
our guess. No nasty medical ads, no
liquor ads, a paper for the whole
family. Watch your man In the leg
islature. The Lincoln News will
print the truth about him. The soon
er you send In a quarter the more pa
pers you get.
