This was dove in the following manner: paper bills for several years were calculated to show the amount of paper used from time to time ; the subscription list was gone over carefully and every name was counted and assorted, correspondents, advertisers, exchanges and some com. plimentary, were put in the FREE col. umn, and those who paid were placed in another column ; during the past year were calculated to see business done; press record, number of coples printed, was next taken; amount of postage paid each week for several years was inspected, and the subscription receipts | connected with this § i i Or | and at that time its | | WOouid ud a change! direct | publisher's sworn statement taken, After a day's careful research the result of the calculation was that the following certifi- | cate was issued to the publisher of the Centre Democrat, (backed by their §50,- 000 indemnity bond) that during the previous mouth of September, the circu. lation of the Centre Democrat was : Paid: Free: Total: 2526 409 2935 The cream of the above statement lies in the first columu--that the paid circu- lation of this paper is 2526. During the month of September the free circulation was some larger than usual owing to us sending out some extra papers during the campaign, so that the regular circu lation of the paper is not 2935, but nearer 2800. Each month a report is made of aud the Centre Democrat's circulation same is published in their "Reporter Since September the paid circulation of the paper has increased, There are not in the state of Pennsylvania a half dozen county seat, country weekly, papers with nsertion and | larger circulation.
