EINDlNG great difficulty in closing up his
IL business, the undersigned has been obi
ged TO transfer and place in the hands Of col
lectors great many Of his accounts for sub
scription TO the Martinsburg Gazette ADVERT
sing, &C., in the year lS45, and hopes all
those indebted TO him will make payment as
early as possible. 1t is very disagreeable re-
sort to be obliged to place in suit, any claim
against any of his former patrons, and he
trusts that they will believe that nothing but
stern necessity would cause him 10 do so.--
Being pressed on all sides himself, he must
take some speedy means of collecting his dues.
1t is not his wish to have any person pestered
with suits who will settle their claims without
so disagreeable a resort Perhaps some ofthe
accounts may nave been settled in part, as
many persons were in the habit of sending
wood, &c, by their servants 10 the office, of
which no account ottentimes was taken, or re-
ceipts passed. But wherever mistake has
been committed, and satisfactory explanation
can be given, it shall be, of course, corrected.
