THE
ROLLING STONE
is a weekly paper published in Austin, Texas
every Saturday and will endeavor to fill a
long-felt want that does not appear,
by the way, to be altogether in-
satiable at present.
THE IDEA IS
to fill its pages with matter that will make a
heart-rending appeal to every lover of
good literature, and every person who
has a taste for reading print;
and a dollar and a half for
a year’s subscription.
OUR SPECIAL PREMIUM
For the next thirty days and from that time
on indefinitely, whoever will bring two dol-
lars in cash to The Rolling Stone office
will be entered on the list of sub-
scribers for one year and will
have returned to him
on the spot
FIFTY CENTS IN CASH
