Subscription price rise for Vindicator and Republican
Beginning January first the subscription price of the Vindicator and Republican will be two dollars a year instead of one dollar and a half. We have waited a long while before deciding to raise, hoping conditions would improve. From now until the first of the year subscriptions are accepted at the old price, saving subscribers fifty cents. We publish a newspaper worth more than the price and ask readers to stay with us. Pay up for multiple years at the old rate of 1.50 as desired.
