The following appeared in the Rock County Herald on June 17, 1884:THE SEMI-WEEKLY HERALDThe First Issue Will Appear Tuesday Evening, July 8thIn accordance with its promise made sometime ago, the HERALD will begin, on Tuesday, July 8, the publication of a semi-weekly issue, which we hope by industrious effort to make a permanent institution, valuable in many respects to the public, and ultimately remunerative to the publisher. The Semi-Weekly, in respect to the subscription list, will have no connection with the WEEKLY HERALD, and will be sent only to those who subscribe for it. The subscription price will be $1 per year. The WEEKLY HERALD will appear at the usual time, and will contain the greater part of the local matter published in the Semi-Weekly of the current week. The price of the weekly, however, will be reduced, after July 1, to $1.50 per year if paid in advance, and those who have pre-paid their subscriptions since April 1, will be credited accordingly. For the present the rates for standing advertisements in both issues will be the same as for the Weekly. For local notices rates will be charged for each issue.
