TO OUR READERS
Well,; boys, young and old, , one
and aU, we are highly grateful (o I
y o a fox. the. deep interest you psjre
taken in helping us build up the
circulation of the Yellow Jacket
daring the past campaign. Sev
eral thousand subscriptions ex
pired with the close of the cam
paign andwe now desire to s6e all
these renewed arid many thousand
n6w ones added. Our terms for
sending the Y. J. are cash in ad
vance, and stop the paper promp
ly when time is out. We will have
somethingjto say each week that
will interest you. The democ: ratic
party is dead but hasn't yet, found
i out, so it will continue to keep
kicking for quite a while. Mi you
desire to see the roasts the Y
J.
will give it, you should promptly
renew for the paper and alscj
get
club
all your neighbors to go in a
with you.
We expect to make a great
lm-
provement on the - Yellow J acket
about the middleof December or
soon after. Each issue will then
contain about twice the reading
matter that it now contains and
everything will be either the prod
uct of our own pen or of "Eli
Tucker's," with occasionally a
letter 'from .'"Old Nick" jus to
show how he stands. We hope
every reader of this article will
skirmish 'round and get us up
one or more subsjby that tim3. It
don't make any difference vhat
your politics is, you will enjov the
Y. J. Each week from the date
of the improvement on the paperj
vrewill print a surplus number of
copies andall who subscribe i fter
ward, and so desire, may have
their subs begin with theJdate of
the change. Now, boys, lets hear
from you. Put your shoulde r lb
the wheel and help to make j the
Y. J.buzz. . -
