Subscribers  Who  Voluntarily
Enroll  Their  Names.
----------
          The Democrat continues to place new names upon its subscription books notwithstanding our country agent,  Mr. Henry Meer,  has been doing  Col. Joseph McBride's  work for the past two weeks in the city during the Colonel's sojourn at West Baden and Greenwood.  The people, however, are studying the situation and as they brush away the smoke and fog they subscribed for The Democrat.  There may oftentimes be something in the paper which does not meet with the entire approval of each reader, but upon the whole and main questions The Democrat endeavors to be sound.  'Tis true it speaks its sentiments and is not under the control of outside influence of any character.  What the people like in the end is a fearless journal that prints the truth.  It affords us pleasure under all the circumstances to submit below the names of 11 new subscribers to  THE  ONE  DOLLAR  per year Weekly Democrat and 4 new subscribers to The Daily Democrat, all obtained this week:
            WEEKLY.
Peter Gallagher, Needham.

LOCAL BREVITIES
----------
Coal scarce
Go to church.
Where's our wood?
Save your old rags.
Hogs $3.60 to $3.65.
No henisfrenzy here.
Rain is badly needed.
Oh! for the dogozomatic.
Holidays in two weeks.
Aid the poor this Winter.
Hi-po-coosy, how are you?
This is "settling up" season.
Mules occasionally have the epizotic.
No deaths from the horse disease as yet.
In the midst of life we are in the epiroot.
A good wood-yard is needed in this city.
Country spelling schools have commenced.
Commissioners Court is in session this week.
The question of who shall be our next Mayor is being discussed.
There is considerable corn still unhusked through the country.
A grocer in town says the best way to serve up lobsters is in lobster celery.
Our stylish young bloodssport rimless velvet caps in a style that is peculiar.
Locals are scarce this week, and to give our usual variety is an impossibility.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soon the Holiday Goods may be seen at the show windows of our business houses.
Those papers that get the official 'pap' will soon be filled with the delinquent tax list.
Blanket your clothes horses carfully. The epizoot is abroad seeking equines to devour.
All the factories in our city are in operation, and few idle men are found on our streets.
It is better to give half worn out clothing to the poor, than to cut it into carpet rags.  The young ones are already showing signs of happiness in anticipation of the holidays.  "Epizoot" remedies are as numerous as life insurance agents in a sickly community.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Santa Claus will come this year with a pair of mules. His reindeers might catch the epizoot.  And still the equines on the streets have a jolly look, that repudiates the idea of disease. We are now clubbing our paper with all the leading periodicals of the age, and at about the publishers' prices. The business men in some places are getting up a list to be called "the dead beat list". This contains the names of all who refuse to pay their accounts. This will make every "dead beat" known at home and abroad that class who buy goods with the intention of defrauding the honest dealer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The insurance business is brisk. It is the only safe-guard property holders have in Shelbyville against the fire fiend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The  Shelby  Volunteer
Thursday, December 18, 1862
------------oO-----Oo------------
          A  SLIGHT  DIFFERENCE. --- We use about fifty pounds of paper a week on which to print the  VOLUNTEER.  Two months ago we paid four dollars and a half for fity pounds, now we have to pay nine dollars for the same quantity, and it is not easy to get even at this price.
