Mr. Morchiti'.t. hiive yon iv.hI the
ads in tins piper. If nut. why
should you ' it your custonieis
to do so?
The-Kimhit'sses costing you noth
ing exieut a nuni'nt of thoughtful
ness Bcmi-tiiues bring you greater
returns than thos0 which strained
your res.uices to the uttermost.
City sutiscril ers are apain remind
ed that at the very low price at
which fhe paper ia delivered at
the'r hemes they shou'd not request
the canler to call more than once
icr his tnotvy. If y;ui r"V for the
paper ly the vi"k and Htl not
band your ini"r his niel-el today,
have it ready for him tomorrow.

Some time ago we referred' to
the accuracy of I'nited Press re

wildest as to the state of affairs a
long the Mexican border.
We wonder it. our readers have
observed also that the Pnited Press

when a genuine bU news story
breaks.
For instance, Tli" Advance first
