CONE os.-It is not pleasant matter for us to
be continually dunning into the ears of our sub
scribers the propriety and necessity of "paying
up for their paper but unpleasant as 1t Is We
arc compelled to do 1t. Notwithstanding NO de-
clare repeatedly that our terms are in advancs or
within three months after subscribing; and s1-
pend large amount of paper In sending bills to
delinqusnts yet many seem neither to know nor
care what our terms are, or whether they are
lived up to or not. Two months ago we sent
several hundred bills for subscription that
was then due,and while many responded prompt
ly, others have not doae SO; and this week and
next We shall again send out similar invitations
to all who owe for their paper. It Is somewhat
vexatious to US to have t. repeat this process SO
frequently, and 1t may be annoying to subscrl-
Dor to receive SO many invitations to "pay up"
but We hope they will keep in good humor
about II, as We invariably do. We intend to pre-
serve our temper and keep cool and shall hope
our tardy patrons will do the same. But We
shall, however, kindly insist upon 1t that those
who take our paper shall accept our terms as ad-
yerlised. There Is not person whose name is
upon our list but that knows perfectly well that
the tribune is the largest. cleanest, cheapest,
and ny FAR THE BEST newspaper ever published
In this State; and they must not expect us to
publish such paper, and maintain It's high stand
ard Of superiority, and yet add to its attractions
from week to week as we intend do, upon the old
system of 'long payments" We could not do 1t.
Aswc have resolved to maintain the high charac-
ter Of the paper we must have advsnce payments
anl we think no reasonable man, who takes a
friendly interest in the paper and the cause It adj
vocates will wish 10 receive the paper on any
other terms. To all who have responded to our
bills with the eash; to all who will do 30 when
The cash is due-our thanks. To others who are in
arrears. who can pay but neglect 1t, we say, "pay
up, if you please;'' to those who can pay, but
won't, and don't intend to pay at all, We say tive
don't want your name on our list, and will moi
have 1t there II we can help It,"

MILFORD, August 2s.-Our town still remains
dull so far as business is concerned, though the
farmers are daily bringing In their produce, con-
sisting Of vegetables. etc. Watermelons are pref
ty plentiful at this time, and this dry weather La
very good for them.
Apples arc very scarce like peaches they are
scarcely seen In our market. We still have
wh0rtleherries.
Corn Is not 80 good as II was thought It would
be some time back. There has been too much
rain for the lowland corn, but 1t Is now getting
pretty dry with us.
HNew buildings are still being put up.
Milford Is well represented al the Milton camp
meeting.
The Presbyterian Sabbath School Of this place
will make an excursion to Georgetown on next
Wednesday, leaving here early In tho morning,
and returning about five o'clock In the afternoon.
The little folks anticipate much pleasure.
The Messrs. Carlisle will launch their large

Houses are very much In demand here. Fod-
der savings will DO very late this fall. There d

Now AND rnES.-In old time, manuriug fields was
serious business In spreading 'r's 10 10 20 loads
Of barnyard manure per acre. she item of tine, labor
&C., was something important. Then the farmer had
no concentrated fertilizers at hand. Darnynrd ma.
nure was his only dependence aud his produc ion
Of this was limited in many instances he could not
sufficiently enrich his soil Now, all tails is change
The careful frmer will still cherish HE baryard TIA
nure and make It go far as possible, but lie Will
also use Wp.Ns's Raw BoNE SurEnrmcsrnArE, by
means OF which he will insure large crops and be Ger
tain Of not only obtaining prompt returns. but also Of
permanently enriching his lans.
This 0reas Fertilizer has proved itself indispensa-
BILE to the farmer. Il rot only Increases the yield OF
cereals and root crsps but 1t also improves the quail
v Of crops grown with it, Responsible farmers assert
this. We have testimonials from all parts OF the
