Mrs. E. M. Marley, of Liberty Route

always glad to get The Courier."
Mr. Cornelius Cagle, of Seagrove
Koure J, was in iheboro Mondav and
said "I discontinued The Courier a few
weeks ago, and my wife says she can
not get along without it."
Mr. t . L. W illiams, of Stalev Route
2, says "you failed to stop my Courier
wnen 1 asked you to discontinue it
and now I want to pay for it a year
in auvance.
Mr. J. W. C. Craven, of Franklin-
ville, said "The Courier is one of the
essentials in our household."
In a recent communication from Mr.
E. D. Lewis who is with the National
Museum in Washington, he says: "The
Courier is the greatest comfort that I
have here in this great city among
strangers, anil don t think that 1 can
afford to drop it not even at one dol
lar and fifty cents per year."
Mr. b. H. bpoon, of Archdale, says
it seems as natural for his family to
ead lhe Courier as it is lor thern to
read the Bible in his home.
