The offer which we made recently to send the BEAUFORT NEWS one year for one dollar has met with a
hearty response. Many renewals have been made and many new subscriptions sent in. As we have already
stated this unusual offer will expire Positively, January 15. We will not accept subscriptions at that rate
mailed to us after that date.
Many years ago the standard price of weekly newspapers in the United States was one dollar a year. Now
only a few are published at that price. The public demands better newspapers now than were formerly
published. The standard has been greatly improved but the cost in most cases has been more than doubled.
We have tried to make the Beaufort News a good county paper, giving the news of the towns and country.'
Many of our readers have been kind enough to say that we have met the requirements of printing a good news
paper. In fact we may say without boasting that the News is recognized generally as being one of the bet
ter class of weeklies published in North Carolina. We propose to maintain our standard and improve it as'
fast as circumstances permit.
If you wish to avail yourself of this chance to get the News for the small sum of ONE DOLLAR fn KTis
year you should send or bring your subscription in AT ONCE. "uunn m a WhoiQ
