TCHGS NEWSLETTER TRANSCRIPTION PROJECT Project Volunteers: Betty Marlar, Cindy Nelson, RaNae Vaughn Transcribed by Janice Switcher and Helah Wilson from the Belmont Times (Belmont, Miss.), No. 16, dated March 5, 1926. ________________________________________________________________ TISHOMINGO COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI, MARCH 5, 1926 THE TIMES APOLOGIZES AND ALSO IS VERY APPRECIATIVE We feel that we should apologize to our readers for the lack of general news matter in today’s paper. Just before going to the press an unexpected demand was made for advertising space which forces us to leave out of the paper reading matter which we would like very much to print, much of it already in type. We hope our readers will bear patiently with us and we promise that if our business continues to grow we will install necessary equipment to handle it. We have added more than one hundred new subscribers to our subscription list since taking over the management of the paper, and it is this rapid growth in our circulation that is bringing so great a demand on our advertising space. We are looking forward to the day — and we honestly believe it is not far distance — when the business of the paper will justify the installation of type casting machines and speedier presses. Then we can enlarge the paper to accommodate our advertisers with out necessarily cutting our reading space. ________________________________________________________________ LOCAL AND PERSONAL Officers Shook and Crabb made a trip to Iuka Saturday.
