And a live pig would cost you no more, Everything in those bygone days was olleep—that is, the tktixlgs of common use Clothes, boots, milk, bread, beefeteak, ogge, butter, lumber, farm labor, domestic servants—they all Dost a good deal less than they do today It; cost less to live—and 1e80 to be bopn—and less to die fifty years ago than today And it poet much less to publish a country weekly fifty years ago than it does today—very much less Yet you paid—or� your grandfather olid—just a dollar a year -- the sante as you are paying today Yet year after year the subscription price of these papers re - waived the same, But the dollar rate must yield to the pressure of necessity. We must do now what we ought to have done years ago—raise the pries of The News -Record to $1.50. The tremendously increased costs of paper, ink, supplies, and the more•tharedoubled cost of living have wade us "furiously to think." And so, on and after January 16th the price of The Trews -Record will be $1,50 a year, rood Headers all If you were in our place, and knew all we know about the higher costs of publishing you would wonder how we didn't make the advance long ago. We•trust you to /met the new rate with a smile, Not for 60 cents a year will you ;say "Stop my, paper."
