Some days ago a lady sub scriber expressed surprise at being charg ed for extra copies of the Gazette, saying: "Land sakes, back east they would giye subscribers a half dozen copies of a paper if they waited them," A subscriber who pays the price of a year's subscription is supposed to get fifty-two papers in the run of the year, but it may easily be seen that if he demands a half dozen copies extra a few times he will get his paper for half price. "Back east," publishers of newspapers may be able to get white paper, ink and all necessary help free but "out west" we take notice that it takes cash to get all these very necessary thin fs that go to make up a newspaper, from week to week, and we are not in the business merely for reasons of health.
