Subscribers to Newspnpers.


We publish the following for the benefit OF sub
serbers 10 newspapers:
/. Subscribers who do not give notice To- the
contrary, are considered as wishing TO commune
.eir subscription.
2. If the subscribers order the d~lseohthuahco
sand them until ali arrearages are paid.
g. If subscribers refuse or neglect to take their
periodicals from the office to which they are di-
Tscted. they are held responsible until they have
settled the bill and ordered them discontinued.
&. II subscribers remove TO other places with
out informing the publishers, and the papers are
sent 10 tho former direction, they are held re-
SPonsibls.
8. The courts have decided that refusing to take
papers from the office, or removing and leaving
them uncalled for, is prima Jaeie evidence Of in
territorial fraud.
Postmasters who notify a publisher that his pa
per is not taken from tho office, are required to
give the reason why they nre not taken out.-Sss

Macarthur is located, to educational
purposes, in 1856.

Interest on Sec. 6......,....... Is 81
1884 81
We shall have something to say,
shortly. relative to this subject. For
the present We merely direct attention
to the fact that the good people ofthis
School District pay about S12O for the
use of School houses, which sum is
the interest on $1,000, at the high
rate Of 10 per cent. per annum. As
some of our friends seem to think that
o respectable School building would
render taxes too ~burdensomc, we give
them a chance to "spread themselves"
on the above facts.

ERROR. Notwithstanding the fact
that VIC read proof by copy" an err
ror occurred in our county statistics,
last week, Of quite an important ma
.tnro. The value of town property in
Madison was given at $17,057, when
it should have been only S1,650.--
The value Of town property in Clinton
was given at S1,G59 when it should
have been $17,957. The error oc-
cured by the transposition orthe val
ne of town property in tho two town
ships, whereby PrattSvillc was made
much more valuable than IIamdcn,
which our friends in the latter place,
doubtless, would be rather slow in
believing.
