MONDAY, DECEMBER ca.

The carrier Of the Gate City will
finish his semi monthly collections ON
Monday, and desires that the amounts
due him may be left at the places where
the paper is left. There is much larger
amount of arrearages due him than he
can afford to carry. He deals with us on
the cash principle paying for what he
gets, and, therefore, whatever subscribers
fail, neglect or refuse to pay him, is bis
loss and not ours. Many persons seem to
think that if we lose the several small
amounts due, it don't make much odds,
that we can stand it, and it is clear gain
to them. This is a mistaken notion every.
way. Pay the carrier promptly, and the
paper will be delivered promptly Ifnot,

some sections, but the prevailing sentiment is quite
unanimous for Cancellation and peace
