Some weeks ago we found that we were short three issues of The Her ald for February, 1909, and inserted a notice in this paper that we would give a three-months subscription to The Herald for one good copy of each issue wanted. As was announc ed last week two of the missing num bers had been received already. This week the third copy was obtained from Mr. J. H. Lee, of Four Oaks, R. F. D. No. 1, and his subscription has been extended three months as per our offer. Our success in secur ing these three papers of February, 1909, shows two things: 1st, That it pays to advertise, and 2nd, That some 'people appreciate The Herald. Those having wants to supply or something to sell might learn a les son from this. A word to the wise is sufficient.
