WHY YOU CANT AFFORD TO DO
WITHOUT THIS NEWSPAPER.
Nineteen and sixteen will be a history making year.
Events of world-wide interest are transpiring abroad and
at home. The great European war is still going on. hat
will be the end? Will peace come within the year? W ill
the United States be able to stay out of the conflict 7 l hese
and a thousand other questions are in the minds of the
people. The answers to these questions, when they come,
win De nrsi in me new papers.
Aside from the war there are many other things of in
terest. This is a presidential election year. A sharp bat
tle between the parties is promised. Will Mr. Wilson be
chosen again? Will Roosevelt mn? Who will be the
nominee of the Republican party? What will be the
1CC11DO r
Conn-ess is in session a session which promises to be
a most important one. The question of preparedness for
the United States is to be thrashed out ana settled, umer
serious problems are confronting the Nation's lawmakers.
Farm problems, industrial problems, economic prob
lems, civic problems all of these and still others will
furnish developments that cannot but prove of vital
interest to every patriotic American citizen.
There is only one way you can keep up with the
kaleidoscopic round of events. You must read the news
papers. The newspaper has come to be one of the most
important factors in modern life. You cannot be a well
rounded, well-posted, intelligent citizen unless you read
the newspapers. You cannot vote intelligently upon pres
ent-dav issues unless vou read them.
All these things The Journal gives you the freshest and
fullest news about two times each week. But this paper
gives you a great deal more. It gives you loads and loads
of things about our county and people that you can't get
anywnere else, it is a great union county paper. we
have no objection to your taking any and all the other pa
pers, but our point is that The Journal is so different from
all the others that it is more than worth the money even if
you were taking all the other papers. All the twice-a-week
papers sell for $1.50 and $2.00. We propose to continue to
.trive the greatest newspaper value in North Carolina by
i ending The Journal two times a week for only one dollar.
But, you will agree with us, that this small subscription
price should, and must, be paid in advance. To continue
this paper at $1.00 per year we must have a dollar for
every paper that goes out of the office. Every one who
has ever had any experience with newspapers knows that
unless they are paid for in advance the loss is tremendous.
Now what we propose is to prevent this loss by seeing that
all pay one dollar, instead of charging some a dollar and a
half and letting others get it for nothing.
It would be the happiest day of our existence if we knew
that every family in Union county read The Journal. We
want them to read it, but we cannot give it to any of them,
hence we will be compelled to cut off those who fail to re
new promptly. This is not because we can't trust you, but
because we can't make the paper go without the money
it balks.
Don't let the paper balk on you. If you want it be en
ergetic enough to see that your subscription is paid. It
is plain carelessness with most people to neglect their sub
scriptionbut remember we have no way of knowing
who is careless and who is simply not going to pay, hence
all must be treated alike.
From now on those subscriptions that are behind will
begin to drop off and proper steps be taken to collect back
dues. Better stand by the old paper and help it to grow
and serve you and the county better than ever in the years
to come. We want you. Send in a dollar bill by mail and
have your label run up right now. Nowhere else can you
get so much for your dollar.
With best wishes for everyone, and with determination
for even a better paper in 1916, we are,
Verv Respectfully,
THE JOURNAL PUBLISHERS.

Notice to the Tax Payers
of Union County.
By an act of the Legislature of 1915, a collector's fee
of 50 cents must be added to all taxes not paid before the
First Day of February of each year. This fee of 50 cents
will not be collected unless the taxes be placed in the hands
of outside collectors. I hope all who have not paid their
taxes for 1915 will call in the Sheriff's office and pay, or
write me for a statement and send it in by mail before
February 1st.
I will be forced to place the taxes in the hands of col
lectors in the month of February in order to meet my final
settlement. Very respectfully,
J. V. GRIFFITH, Sheriff of Union County.
