WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 81, 1917

10 our Delinquent Subscribers, Sc.-ln order
that there may be 10 misunderstanding, we
deem i, expedient to let delinquent subscribers,
and others, in arrears for JOB printing, adver-
Using. &c. know, that Immediately upon the
adjournment Of the Court, we shall proceed TO
make out all our accou nts, and give them into
the hands Of a collector, wh ell we shall strictly
comply in our charges. to the terms Of the pa
per. Finding it impossible - carry on bu-
siness, which calls weekly fora large amount
of cash. without greater punclualty upon The
part Of number Of our patrons, we are de-
termined, hereafter, to act as near as possible
upon the cash system, or at all times demand
the published terms ofthe paper. We return
thanks to those who have come forward and
settled up, and have hope, that very many
will either come or send their dues by some of
their friends, during tue tenn ofthe Court,
which will be in session two weeks.
T We received, short time since, a copy
of the Speech of the Hon. A. Burt, "on the
Oregon Territorial Bill, delivered in the House
Of Representatives, January 14lh, l547." We
have already laid before our rea ders 2 sy mop.
sis Of this excellent Speech.
Eve have devoted large portion Of to.
days paper, to the Speech Of Mr.. Calh oun
upon the three million bill, and the de bate
upon the Resolutions offered by Mr.. YuIee,
Senator from Florida, relative to the expulsion
of Mr.. Richie, of the Union, from seat in
that body. Knowing the anxiety that is at all
times felt by the citizens of this section of the
Union, relative to the views of Mr.. Calhoun,
upon all important subjects, we feel satisfied
that our patrons will find no fault with US for
crowding out other matter, which might, per.
haps, given them paper containing more va
riety, but certainly not more interesting at the
present time.
