What would become of its local pride? Clinton wonkl just be a

Might die, or marry, or go etwa , or stater accidents, or entertain
friends, and yen would. hear about it all only through gobsip. , Eaten
sales and other announcements of interest to this partiouler part of the
wide, wide world would have no tpublioity. 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.
Be loyal to and proud of the community you live in,
Keep it on the map.
