HOME AFFAIRS. As to Obituaries. The rule of this Office as to tho pub lication of Obituaries, ban always been that such matter in excess of ten lines was chargeable, at the same rate as advertising?one dollar per square, space of one inch. Wo now extend the limit to twenty lines. All obituaries exceeding this limit must bo paid for at said rate. TO SUBSCRIBERS A great many of THE ADVERTISER'S subscribers are in arrears,?many more than usual. It Is impossible for the pa per to get along unless its subscribers pay. During tho year we havo endeavored to givo you the worth of your money. Your county paper publishes news that you can pet in no other papor. The nig weekly editions of dally papers published in Atlanta and other citlos that you get for a low price make you think thai tho price of your county pa per is high. But these big weeklies do not toll you who is on tho jury in l.au rens. They do not toll you who of your fr' nds aro married and who aro dead. You cannot call uun" i^em to publish tho rolls of honor in your schools and the announcements of your picnics and club meetings. Even tho advertiso monts in your county papor aro valua ble to you?they contain Information which every man In Laurons county frequently noeds. This year Is elec tion year and vou will need a county papor moro than usual. A county papor cannot havo a large circulation liko tho papers that tho dallies publish and tho dailies can pub lish weekly editions much cheaper than wo can of course. We have been Indulgent?too much so for our good. Wo can indulge no longer. On tho first day of March we expect to stop sending the papor to those who have shown no disposition to pay anything this fall. Between now and then, tho sooner tho better, we ask paymont from all In arrears. If you can't pay all, and will pay a part, you will lind us ready to meet you half way and to continue sending tbo paper. The price of tho paper is One Dollar and a half a year. lion. W. J.
