. THE WEATHER Unsettled Wednesday and Thursday V : We Stand for the Purity of Home, the Supremacy of Law and the Relief of a Tax-burdened People. RICHMOND, MADISON COUNTY, KENTUCKY, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1914 Old Vol. 41 New Vol. 1 Number 5 Q Pages u Today Announcement We have decided to enlarge this pa per. This is necessary for the reason that the liberal advertising which we are receiving makes it absolutely impera tive that we do so. We are willing to enlarge it and are not standing on the question of price. What is bothering us is the best method to employ in the mat ter. We have had under conleniplation making the paper a twice-a-week publi cation, and we are very much wedded to this idea. However, this will lake us out of the postofftce delivery and will re quire us to have it delivered by carriers, which is not at all satisfactory. It is possible, therefore, that ve will con clude to make it an eight-column, eight page paper, which will give us a page and a half additional space over that now used. The Climax-Madisonian is already the largest paper in the county and with this additional space, we will be better pre pared ihan ever to serve our pairons whose business we duly appreciate. If the people want a semi-weekly, which will be finally developed into a daily, now is the time for them to speak. A dollar of performance is worth forty dollars in taffy. In the meantime, we are developing plans which will make the Climax-Madisonian THE BEST PAPER EVEK PUBLISH ED IX MADISOX COUNTY.
