The Journal’s Cot tage Orove subscriber» should eon- st ler the above a sufficient provoca tion to justify them in ordering the Jo iru.il man to "stop their paper.’ The Leader is Forginq Ahead by Leaps and Bounds— The Circulation Nearly Doubled in Past Two Months. The circulation, advertising and job priuting patronage of thé Lane County L eader is still increasing at a most astonishing and highly satis- factory rate. During the month of „ I, .. to , May fully 100 new names were ad led to our subscription book, but all records were broken Inst week wheu the names of SIXTY’ new subscribers were recorded on our books. The people have ascer tained the fuet that the L eader covers the news field thoroughly, even supplying the cream of the court home and county seat news which renders it no longer necessary to take the county seat papers to get the county news. The L eader has also proven itself just as reliable as it is newsy and that accounts for it* rapidly increasing popularity. The following list tof new subscribers has been enrolled in our subscription book since the last issue of the L eader : Klrner l»orUr J O . a N at kin* Mrs Freileriekson W. V. Dewald D A Smith a . J.
