To OUR PRESENT ADVERTISING PATRONS
Our advertising terms, as We have before stat
ed, are payable quarterly. The first quarter
of the Advertisers issue expired three weeks
since, and as remitances have not beer as ex-
tensive as we desire, we beg to call the atten-
ton of our patrons to the matter. We have
recently made extensive additions to the Job
department Of this Office, and now must lay
in our winter stock Of paper. Nothing but
cash viii help US out in these purchases. Town
lots are not current. We hope, therefore, that
those who have not complied with our terms,
will do so Immediately. A few of our subscri-
bers, also, have not paid up Please help Us
out of this drag" We know times are hard
and money scarce, and we are not disposed t.
be greedy; all we ask the present year, is cash
enough to meet our actual cash outlay; we car
"dicker'' in tow lots for the balance. Civ,
