BRUCE AND GREY PAPERS IN-
CREASE SUBSCRIPTION RATES- Ow-
ing to the continued general increase in
the price of paper, cost of labour and
other items in connection with the opera-

a meeting held in Hanover on Friday,
April 30th, attended by a large represen-
tation of the newspaper men of both

carefully and comparing costs all round,
it was seen that the step must be taken.

Sentinel readers are requested to take
notice of this change and govern
themselves accordingly.
