The following form of attestation will answer for every State in the Union: “Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said [A. B.] as his last Will and Testament, in presence of us, who, at the request of the said A. B., and in his presence, and in the presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses.” In some States it is required that the Will should be made at least two months before the death of the testator.

THE THIRTY-FIFTH VOLUME
OF THE
American Missionary.
1881.
Shall we not have a largely increased Subscription List for 1881?
We regard the Missionary as the best means of communication with our friends, and to them the best source of information regarding our work.
A little effort on the part of our friends, when making their own remittances, to induce their neighbors to unite in forming Clubs, will easily double our list, and thus widen the influence of our Magazine, and aid in the enlargement of our work.
Under editorial supervision at this office, aided by the steady contributions of our intelligent missionaries and teachers in all parts of the field, and with occasional communications from careful observers and thinkers elsewhere, the American Missionary furnishes a vivid and reliable picture of the work going forward among the Indians, the Chinamen on the Pacific Coast, and the Freedmen as citizens in the South and as missionaries in Africa.
It will be the vehicle of important views on all matters affecting the races among which it labors, and will give a monthly summary of current events relating to their welfare and progress. Patriots and Christians interested in the education and Christianizing of these despised races are asked to read it, and assist in its circulation. Begin with the January number and the new year. The price is only Fifty Cents per annum.
The Magazine will be sent gratuitously, if preferred, to the persons indicated on page 191. Donations and subscriptions should be sent to
H. W. HUBBARD, Treasurer,
56 Reade Street, New York.
TO ADVERTISERS.
Special attention is invited to the advertising department of the American Missionary. It numbers among its regular readers very many frugal, well-to-do people in nearly every city and village throughout our Northern and Western States. It is therefore a specially valuable medium for advertising all articles commonly used in families of liberal, industrious and enterprising habits of life.
Advertisements must be received by the TENTH of the month, in order to secure insertion in the following number. All communications in relation to advertising should be addressed to
THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT,
56 Reade Street, New York.
Our friends who are interested in the Advertising Department of the American Missionary, can aid us in this respect by mentioning, when ordering goods, that they saw them advertised in our Magazine.
