ONLY 12 MORE DA YS *» . . . - * Less than two weeks rfemain during which time re-,. - t -*? newals and new* subscriptions .will be tyken at the old- rate of $1.00 per year* After the first of February* all renewals and. new subscriptions will be at the rate of ’ $1.50 per annum. The Press and Standard does not ex pect to loke many subscribers by this small raise in the price of the paper, and we trust that our readers will understand that it is made purely from necessity. The price of everything going to make a newspaper has gone up, as has everything else which we have to hatfe, and it is this increased cost of production which makes it essential to increase the price of the paper to the read er to make up in a small way the increased cost of pro duction. The Press and Standard is one of the few pa- . pers not having already raised the price. The Beaufort Gazette gets $1.50 per year, so does the Bamberg Herald, and there is hardly a newspaper of “any standing any where that is published at less than $1.50 per year, in fact many weekly papers are getting $2.00 a year. - We trust that as many subscribers jis desire to do so will renew their subscriptions before the first of Feb ruary. for on that date the price \.i!l he advanced to 81.50 ami no exceptions fo’ this riilb will be made. * At ’ that time also all subscribers in arr : rs as much a « i? nth will be cUt off.
