FROM THE HERALD TO YOU.
The Herald is trying to give you a
4'ood county weekly newspaper, and
we believe our readers appreciate it.
We have been five long years getting (
The Herald up to the high place it
now occupies, and we have worked
hard to please you, and give you a
paper you can appreciate. A little
over a year ago we began giving our
readers a real telegraph service, giv-
ing Herald readers the news of the
world every week. The Herald is the
only weekly outside the larger cities
giving its readers the service. For
five years we have worked to make
you a real county paper by giving
you the news of every neighborhood
in the county, and today we are the
only paper in Choctaw county with a
corps of correspondents all over the
county, this giving you besides the
news of the world by telegraph the
news of your neighbors—people you
know. The Herald is the only paper
in Choctaw county which publishes the
Indian land sales, and this is of vast
importance to the people of the coun-
ty, being the official paper of the in-
terior department. The Herald al-
ways publishes everything about ag-
ricultural methods we can get, and
this helps the man on the farm. All
this costs a vast amount of money,
and our expenses must be paid every
week. There are many names on our
list who owe us subscription; if you
are one of them, won't you come in
and pay us something, so we may be {
able to meet our bills and keep on ;
sending you The Herald.
If you havn't the money bring in a '
-hicken or something and we will cred-1
your account with the market price.'
We really need the money.
We know times are hard and moil*'
ey scarce—that's just why we need
your help. We have been faithful in j
'sending you the paper—you be justJ
as faithful in doing your duty. ^,
:east come in to see us and let's talk
-J>e matter over, if you haven't the j
money, tey so frankly and that will j
be alright But help some if you
can. There has been two or three '
hard years in a bunch and we have
never pushed you and will not now, j
hut we have failed on this account to j
collect like wa should and have let lit-;
tie accounts double up until they ag-:
gregpte limn/ hundred dollars. If j
each tme who knows himself to be in j
arrears will pay just a little now it (
will help us wonderfully.
