RENEWALS FCR 1897.
We take this opportunity to thank those
of our subscribers who have renewed their
subscription to " The Signal " for 1897.
There are still some twelve or fifteen
hundred whom we would ' like to h:ar from,
and we hope they will square themselves for
the ensuing year at the earliest possible op-
portunity.
It requires money -and lots of it -to run
a country newspaper successfully, and we
want 1897 to be the most successful year of
" The Signal's " existence.
We know that times have been hard, but
a thousand men can more easily send in a
dollar each to " The Signal" than " The Sig-
nal " can afford to do without the thousand
dollars.
The moral of this comparison lies in the
application.
Help along the application by renewing
your subscrip.ion without waiting for more
snow to come.
Now is the time to subscribe.
