To DELINQUENT Subscribers.

The senior Editor of this paper has just returned
from an unsuccessful tour through the eastern part
Of this District undertaken for the purpose of coll
lecting arrearages for til PORTLAND GAZETTE.
In August 1917, the bills were made out and left
with Agents duly authorized TO receive and re-
ceipt for the dues. We were at this trouble and
expense solely for the accommodation of our sab-.
scribers, who were in duty bound by the terms of
our subscription either to have brought or sent US
the small stipend free of expense but notwith-
standing our endeavours to promote their conven-
fence in this respect, our calls are disregarded--
and many are still indebted for the paper for up
acaTds often gears. 1t is in vain to reason any
longer upon the subject-or say that things
ought not so TO be-" as il needs hut very slight
acquaintance with business to know that nothing
but the wdoD's cruise can hold out under these
circnnssances-not having access to that, we are
reluctantly compelled to give notice to all such as
are indebted for longer term than eight gears that
they will be allowed till the first Of December merit
TO cancel these demands-aftsr which they must Be

necessary expense, and US from the modification
