All persons indebted to this office for Subscrip-
tons Advertising, or Job ork, are informed that
longer indulgence cannot be given, and is therefore
out oil the question. A disposition to indulge and
accommodate as far as possible, has led US to put off
all calls upon subscribers to the latest moment, and
to 6l all orders sent for advertising and job-work
10 doing this we have necessarily incurred debts to
considerable amount, which our creditors need, and
must hare. and for the payment of which we must
rely upon tie collection of amounts due us. 1t is
nearly eighteen months since the Herald was com-
enccd and as yet not one-third OF its subs: .bers
have paid farthing on their FIRST years subscription
Can ii be supp .scd that any establishment can long
exist when those for whom it abors, and OF whom 1t
expects remuneration, thus tardy In making pay
men!
From these facts it will appear that the principal
amount of our earnings is yet unpaid, and being
scattered over an extensive district of country, the
expense of sending collector would be greater than
our business would justify; but as the amount due
by each individual is small there are few, Ii any, who
cannot, without much inconvenience, discharge the
obligation. Then it is hoped that those indebted
ted to US will take our case under consideration, and
resolve TO relieve from present embarrassments-
IT each can but pay portion due we shall be able
10 go way rejoicing, but if not justice to
selves and the claims Of our creditors will demand a
more rigid collection. We find it impossible to con.
tine the Herald under its heavy expenses while its
dues come in slow, SO our urgent call is made
through necessity.
az Postmasters are allowed by law to frank let
lers enclosing subscription money 10 publishers, so
any subscriber can remit without the expense of
postage, by asking the favor of the postmaster.
