Beginning October 1, 1907, the subscription price of The Washing- 1 ton County News will be $1.50 per i year. This rise is due to the fact that the cost of everything that goes into the making and publish ing a newspaper has so far advanced that the rise is absolutely neces sary. Print paper has advanced from time to time until now it is 4 j cents per pound whereas it used to be purchased for 2 cents. This and other rises cannot be met without materially lowering the standard of The News which we re frain from doing. That the News is one of the best country papers pub lished in this state goes without saying and we feel confident that our patrons will gladly a ide by the rise in price which is imperative. From now until the above date The News can be had at $1 per year and we trust that all will take ad vantage of the hour and secure it another year at the old price. Editor L. A . Long of the Hillsboro Argus who last week ungirted the belt of moulder of public opinion, will be greatly missed. He will not only be missed by his fellow publishers but by a great many others by whom he was held in the high est regard as an editor and pub lisher of a bright newspaper.
