Special Notice, To OurSuscribeks: Last Sun day morning about 4:30 “The Picayui^e” office was totally de stroyed by fire, not even saving the books or subscription list. This is a heavy blow to me fi nancially, being my hard-earned savings for the past 15 years. There is no way for me to tell how much each subscriber owes me or even who they are so I must trust it entirely to them to notify me who they are and as near as they can how they stood with the paper. So T ask everyone who was taking “The Picayune” to please drop me a card and tell me as near as possible how they stand with the paper and send the amount, if possible, for if I ever needed the money 1 need it now. I have, hpught a new and com plete newspaper and job office, and it will be shipped at once. As soon as it arrives we will open up in the Brooks building on Hast Front Street, one of the best equip ped printing plants our county lias ever had. We will issue a twice-a week paper, lull of live news and will be prepared to fill all orders for job printing. It will be more than appreciated if you will send or hand in the amount due the paper. You know what it is; I don’t. I trust it to your honor. You will find me at our new quarters, in the Brooks building four doors from the post office. This will be t lie last issue published until our new plant ar rives which will not be later than February ist. Now a postal card will cost you mly one cent and my subscription ist is worth hundreds of dollars to ne. So please drop me a card and it least tell me you were a subscrib ?r. There has never been a loss in n the country by lire that I did not ielp when asked to do so. Now friends, I do not a^k a do nation, but only that you drop me the card as above stated, which will be worth more to me than any thing you could give me. I thank you all for your past patronage and soliciting a continuance of the same in the future, I am Yours truly, C. B- Andrews. J. A. NELSON.
