The publishers of The Leader wish to thank all their friends for their cordial support in the past and ask their continued sup port in the future. The paper is not proving a gold mine to the publishers, but during the past four and one half months it has paid operating expenses and the editor has had the satisfaction of knov.ing that he has had the privilege of editing a paper that the readers appreciate. Nearly all of the subscribers who started out with only a three months’ subscription have ssnt in their renewals. Some have not, and the publishers are not at all disappointed, for some people don’t want any thing in this life unless they see that a dollar is in it for them, and, therefore, no great amount of disappoint ment is experienced when a notice to continue the paper is not re ceived. Some have failed to send in their renew als because they didn’t want the paper. The pub lishers have no quarrel with them but they are only sorry that they are unable to appreciate the fact that a good live paper is one of the most helpful agencies for good that a community can possess. Other short term subscribers have wanted the paper to con tinue. but have thought no doubt that the paper would continue anyhow. The publishers promised that ihey would not force anyone to take the paper, and they are going to try to live up to that promise. Since The Leader has I>ublished this week the road law a paper will be sent to every name that has been on the list. It your time has expired and you still want the paper send in your renewals within the next day or two. The publishers of the paper need you and you need the paper. Just think about a man who will not take the home paper, and it costs less than 2 cents a week too. The man that doesn’t is not bub bling over with patriotism and a desire to see his town grow. The publishers will appreciate all the good words that the read ers of the paper will say about; it. The Spuing Hope LEADEit is a fi ifture at this place and it is rrriSnt'' to live and be a part in the ii^^'elopment and greati’.eas f'-f Spring Hope and Nash County, and it is a wise man that gets on the band wagon when it goes by. After the wagon has already gone by, it is a iiard matter to catch up with it. It is passing right now and you had petter jumpon. Death of Little Cliilii. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs, W. B.
