couraging for he has taken the pa
per for years , and if 'there hadn't

quit long ago , so here's good luck
to you Mr. Marley. We're get
ting new subscribers rigtit a bug

If some of our friends who said
stop the paper because they didn't ,
want to pay in advance for it will
just slip over the fence to the
neighbors and borrow a copy of
THE DEMOCRAT occasionally they
can perhaps make themselves be
lieve they made the editor think
that thiy could get all the news
without taking the paper. Just
tell the neighbors you wanted to
look for astray notice or something
like that , it'll work. i
