glad to send copies of the bill, specimens, etc., to all persons 
disposed to aid in circulating the Rural, for which kind ser¬ 
vice liberal inducements are offered. 
ViP Voluntary Agents for the Rural.— Any and every 
Subscriber, Post-Master or reader is requested to act as vol¬ 
untary agent for the Rural, by forming clubs or otherwise. 
Now is the time for its friends to manifest their interest in 
the paper and the cause it advocates, either by obtaining 
new subscribers, or inducing others to act in its behalf. If 
any lose or wear out numbers in showing the paper,— 
that’s the best way to get subscribers, —we will duplicate 
them in order to make their files complete for binding. 
ViP Associated Effort leads to success in canvassing for 
periodicals, as well as in other enterprises. For instance, 
if you are forming (or wish to form) a club for the Rural

with or assist you — adding their names to those you may
