All of our subscribers who do not re ceive their A dvertiser every week are requested to report the same at this office. All such will be supplied with an extra copy. The fault does not lie with us but in the post office. On first page we publish, in full, the Oregonian’s write-up of the city of Ash land, for which the publishers were to receive fifty dollars. ’ • • . : The last act of the old City Council was to call a special meeting, and, with out consulting the wishes of the people, vote that fifty dollars l>e paid to the Ore gonian for a satisfactory write-up and il lustrations of our city. The New’ Year’s edition of the journal revealed the result of their diminutive judgement. Public opinion is unanamous in the denouncation of this act of the council, but “what’s done can’t be undone,” and although the write-up is not what was expected, the council had better pay for it and admit that they have been duped, for, if it is not paid for, the chances are about even that the Oregonian will give the city another write-up even more un satisfactory than the first one is. The council w as not unanamously in favor of this needless expenditure of much needed funds, and those who op posed it are to be commended for their good judgement in behalf of the liest in terests of our city. Quite a number of our advertisers in- from us that they are more than pleased with the results obtained from their ad vertising in last A dvertiser , the results being far greater than they ever obtained through any other paper of this city. They attribute it to the fact that the A dvertiser being small is read in its en tirety, while nobody reads more of a large sheet than he is obliged to in order to get the news. Some of the publishers of the large sheets, who are losing sub scribers and patronage to a large degree, in favor of the small papers, even go so far in their conceited foolishness and desperation as to assert that the reason they (the larger papers) have not the confidence of the people is because so manv enterprising business men persist in advertising in “little papers with no circulation nor standing in the commun ity.” Poor conceited, brainless weilders of the editorial pen, too blind to see as other people see—that in the publica tion of such matter, they are only laying their own true condition liefore the pub lic. It is no wonder that they receive no patronage when they cannot bring equal results with the small papers that they look upon with so much contempt. The circulation books oi the A dver tiser are open to all advertisers. We do not have to mail sample copies in the proportion of two to one of our bona fide list to make a respectable showing on mailing days, as certain—well, you know the rest. Central Point Pointers.
