remembered that in our prospectus we
emphatically declared that subscrip.
tons should be paid upon receipt ofthe
first number OF the paper. We will
not dilate upon the extraordinary ailec.
ton for you, delinquent "sul," which
ilnpcllcd US to continue sending the
paper, Notwithstanding the long expect
ed remittance failed to come to hand ;
but merely intimate that even now ii
would not be altogether unacceptable.
Many Gong life tothem y " came down
with the 'invincible' without further
demand; but we cannot close our eyes
to the fact that others have not done so.
Tt is unnecessary for us to assert that
this is a matter of profound regret to
us. We don't want want the money
for oursclf, but for our much-cstecmcd
and ncvcr-to- forgotten creditors.
They are differently constituted from us
we don't like to "dun" pcoplc-thcy
do. Now, dear delinquent "sub," you
can but appreciate our solicitude when
we inform you that Olympia is small
town-an intantle town-a town of OK
cecdingly. diminutive proportions, with
out dark alleys into which we mi ght
Ilunge, upon catching the first glimpse
Of creditor. Besides, we are COM
PEELED to visit the Postotiicc to obtain
the news We transmit weekly to you,
and that Is the place HCy edo most con-
gregate." We would delight to dwell
upon the subject, but our space will not
permit. We trust all will chccrlully
respond to this our first request.
Ii our patrons wouldn't reflect upon
the cost Of publishing paper, they
would consider it sin to withhold the
small pittance due from each, but
amounting to much in the aggregate.
None, perhaps, reflect that the cost of
the titty-two sheets Of blank paper upon
which the STANDARD is printed, alone,
amounts to Is cents, leaving but s. %
out of which to pay printers, rent, wood,
wear of material, and numerous incl
dental expenses. "A sheet the size of
ours could not be furnished, upon its
mere receipts for subscription and adj.
vertising. 1t is only by performing
the labor of two capacitics-cditor and
composiior-that We are enabled to
publish the STANDARD.
But we are content, if our cher
ishcd delinquent subscribers will but
"pung,c" we will go on our way re-
joicing.
