A Further List of I SOCIAL EVENING
The Comrades class of the James
St. Sunday Schorl, composed of the
young married people of the church,
held a social evening in the church
parlors on Friday evening of last
week and a sociable time was en
joyed in playing progressive crok-
inole followed by refreshments ser
ved by the ladies. Mrs. Luther Rey
nolds had tjje highest score of the
evening, A collection was taken up
to raise the class allotment to the
M. & E. fund and they went over
the top, raising over $30.00
Beginning with Slay 1st the subscription price of the Timo---
Advocate will be increased to $2.00 a year. The Times-Advocate
has been one of the frnv weekly papers in Ontario that have endeav
ored to maintain the subscription rate at $1.50. At the present
time we are the only paper in Huron-County that is charging $1,50
a year, Papers in Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth, Wingham, Blyth,
and Brussels are charging $2.00 and have been tor several years.
Until May 1 we will continue to accept renewal subscriptions at the
rate of $1,50 a year, Subscribers who are in arrears should take
this opportunity to pay fox’ their papei’ in advance as after the first
of May all arrears will he charged at the advanced rate. A few days
ago we were asked why the subsription price to the Times-Advocate
was higher than for some of the farm papers and the "answer is
simple. Farm papers are national papers with small subscription
rate and high advertising rates. The advertising rates run from
ten to twenty times higher than the rates of a weekly newspaper.
