I amYftnin. 1 ol: . P lm t some mighty r> a n jf against the Republicans every once and awhile, but J notice you also hit the Dem- SEE? oft S" too i ? nd 1 think need hitting'. Your friend- Roosevelt won't make it again. He ought to been beat out 3 years ago. He is trying to be a dictator of this nation. "I enjoy your editorials, as mean as they are, though I will admit I think you are a good writer and try to be fair. I take your paper to see what you are go ing to say. "Yours truly, « tf The Reporter really appreciates the above letter. We withhold tV.c- name as the writer did not give us per mi •sion to print it. He is a Eenublie .r. r.ncl a did fellow whose friend >we valu-i and whose patronage we . : Yvecint?. The Reporter has a large number of Republican friends and subscribers in the county, and personally they are valued just as highly as our Democratic friends. We do not expect people to agree with everything we write. It is best for the country that should be different opinions about the various questions and problems and issues before the peo ple. It is a healthy sign. It is democra tic. It means that freedom for which we are fighting is working. During the late campaign which we put on preparatory to the increase in price of the Reporter, we have had many letters from our friends, some of them beautiful in sentiment and apprecia tion, some of them critical and caustic. In general the response to our changed policy of $2.00 a year and cash in ad vance has been very gratifying, and we are very grateful. $l.OO Rate Extented for Thirty Days On account of the misunderstanding- of quite a number of our subscribers on their renewals, we have extended for 30 davs to January 1, 1944, the time dnvino which the Reporter may be had at s*.oo per year. It had been planned to raise the price to $2.00 on December 1, 1943. Now the price of $l.OO per year will be in effect until January 1, 1944, at which time no further extension can be grant ed. If you want the paper at $l.OO per year even up for as much as 3 years to Dec. 1, 1946, subscribe not later than January .1, 1944. If you wish your present subscription extended at the rate of $l.OO a year, you can do so for as far ahead as December 1, 1946, if you pay before Jan. 1, 1944. The raise in price to take effect Jan. 1, 1944, is made necessary owing- to the greatly increased cost of publication. Thank You PUBLISHED THURSDAYS XMAS HOLIDAYS FROM DEC. 22-2.) Frufcixor J. C.
