of the necessity of paying immediate at.

A large proportion of the amount due
from those who have discontinued in ar

months on new year, after which time
the subscriber makes up his mind that his

intend to take the paper for only one year
In all such cases we are obliged to suffer
the loss, though we have sent the paper
in good faith. How great this loss is
may be seen in the preceding statement
~ Under these circumstances we
have resolved to send out no paper afte1
