tht'.Mit is Kroing in import-
nee and in work, so in order to
eep abreast with the times we
have this week ordered the latest
model Linotype machine which
will be in operation at the Mist
office next week. With this ma
chine in operation we will have
one of the very best equipped
offices in the state and prepared
to turn out any and all kinds of
work on the very shortest notice.
We will give to our readers all
the news from the county seat
and the surrounding cominuni
tics each week together with the
Karm and Homo section. Our
subscription list is being revised
and after June 1st only those
people Mho pay up or mako some
arrangement for payment will
be supplied with the paper. We
are anxious that our list remain
u large as it is at present, and if
the Riving of a good paper with
extra inducements will keep our
list at the head we are going to
dugo. It is not anticipated that
we will lose very many subscrib
ers oy requiring a paid up policy
tn what we do lose we will more
than make up for in new ones so
that our list will not only remain
u large as it is but will increase
without doubt.
Excuse the poor paper this
week but we promise to make up
for it next week and all the time
hereafter.
It is high time that Republicans
support Republicans.
