the combined list of two papers. Six
thousand eyes will no doubt see this
issue, and soon look for Januaiy and

modest in mentioning the number of
eyes, as many papers count a thou

each reader is supposed to have two
eyes. However, do you know many

We published a statement of the

a credit to that bank ami the thriving
little city of Centra] Point. J. O. Isaac

bankers in the state and his institu

quarter just ending show $316,N<>5.29.
Every box holder on each rural
route out of Ashland will receive the
Ashland American. We hope you like
I it and send in your subscription.
Many citizens in Ashland and south
across the state line, also residents of
Talent and Phoenix, have remarked
that the southern part ot Jackson
county needed a weekly paper. Coun
try people, as ell as the town and
city dwellers, appreciate a good
weekly, where they read every line
and ;i<l news for week-end offerings.
A daily paper is splendid for state
and national news and very impor
tant for quick reading where a glance
at the head lines tell the story. The
Ashland American will strive to fill
the weekly field and will expand with
age. We want weekly reports and
programs from all churches, lodges,
clubs anil societies. Why not each
dhurch appoint a press agent to bring
in the announcements every week.
Regular church announcements are
gladly run free.
