The clubbing arrangement with the World has not been renewed for 1901. These are three reasons for this: First. The object is to secure new subscribers and to induce old ones to pay up. ine enecr nas been that only those who always pay in advance anyway have taken advantage of it. Second, It costs us four cents more than we get for it, and is therefore a loss to us. Third. The World is mailed direct to subscribers from New York. If not received we have no knowledge of it, but many com plaints are made to us either that it does not come regularly, or not at all. We have even been taken to task for some of the World's political views that do not suit the reader. In order thereiore to avoid loss and anuoyance, without any corres ponding compensation, we have discontinued the club arrangement, and will no longer furnish the World with this paper. 2t.
