Our looal merchants would have no eheap and quick way of telling yon what they provide for yon, One churches and schools ane) other institutions would have no medium, of news or appeal, And this whole community would slip betak and be the sport of joke -smiths. Would city papers take the place of The News -Record ? Yoti know They would not. Tlip] op Jani axy point of it all is : We are raising the price of The News -Record 15th to $1,60 a year. Now if you "kick" and drop your subscription, you say Ext effect, "This cemunu,ity doesn't: need a local weekly. If 1 can do without The Newas.Reoord,, all others cant, We do nob believe for one moment that the good people of Clinton and county and neighborhood mean to "kink" or drop their sub- scription to The News -Record, We expect all our subscribers to recognise the new conditions of living and publishing that have trade the dollar rate impossible to continue. But we want to let you see that your weekly newspaper at the higher rate of 3 cents a week -the price of apostage _staanp-still costs an insignificant sum when you reckon up the service your weekly newspaper ren- ders you and this whole community.
