the cold months of winter are near at
hand, the thoughts Of the charitable
and benevolent should be turned to that
unfortunate class Of persons who stand
| in great need OF their assistance. Char
| ity is such sublime virtue, in which
is embodied every other good act, that
whatsoever practices it will receive in
return the bounteous rewards of a kind
Protector. Let those, then, who are
gifted with the goods of fortune, who
live in the lap OF plenty, give an eye to
those in want, whereby their sufferlngs
may be alleyiated and their households
be made to wear the smile of comfort.
Honey IEantet1-We take this op-
portunity to say to those who owe us
for subscription, advertising and job
work, that we are in want OF money
and we will be much obliged if they
will call and pay their unsettled bills.
We would again remind our patrons
that we pay cash for material and to our
workmen, which compels US to ask
prompt settlement of all bills. Our re-
ceipts are unusually light for this sea-
son of the year, not sufficient to pay
current expenses, which makes it nec-
essary for US to call upon those who
owe US.
