During this Period we Invite Subscriptions Subscrip-tions to Stock and Payment of All Accounts, Especially Subscriptions. As nnnounccd through tho editorial columns of The Record a couple of weeks ago, we have reached a point in the development of The Record where n new printing press, of . increased in-creased speed and larger capacity, is an absolute necessity. We need and have resolved to obtain a new press, nnd we earnestly request thonld and assistance of all our subscribers, ob well as of tho Cedar City public at large, in procuring it. The stock books of our company are open to you, nnd we will be very pleased to receive your subscriptions in any amounts from ono dollar to a thousand dollars.

Our campaign will cover tho months of March and April, unless tho amount Htatci'is sooner raised. $2,000 is not a very largo sum. On moro than ono occasion a smooth-tongued schemer has come in with a horse of questionable question-able value and sold it for more than this amount. The improvement of the local newspaper, which is the medium me-dium through which the town is to be judged by people on the outside, is of far moro consequence than a horse for breeding purposes. To those who are not in a .position to subscribe for stock, we request that they make it a point to renew their subscriptions during tho period covered by tho campaign.
