DeIInquen,s, Take Notice.


Eight more iEsues Of the FRgEAAR will
elOse the third year of It's existence, and we
wish we could hope that the many accounts
standing open on our books could Oe closed
at tho same time. We have tried dnnning
through our paper. We have tried collecting
through the hands Of legal gentlemen, and
we have tried to get what is due us in sever
oil localities by the aid of special visiting
agent. All these schemes were comparative
failures, and the last one, while it resulted
IN securing most insigui6cent proportion
Of our just dees, cost US not less than thirty
per cent. of the am omit realized. Not be-
ing able to "stand the pressure" we were
forced 30 abandon this method before all the
Localities wero visited, and hence fall back
upon hrst principles in hopes Of meeting
tend to pay us at all.
On the 2lst of January next, when the
present volume closes, there will be due US
FOR subscriptions. advertising, ETC., over hi-
teen hundred dollars. and We propose to get
every cent of that amount that can be got,
If not by voluntary then by forced payments.
and With that object in view we have deter
mined upon the following procedure. which
ahall be carried out to the letter Every
person who will pay US what they owe Us
before the 25th OF December will be charged
only 81 per year for subscription and ad-
vauced rates for advertising, ETC.. those who
40 not pay before that date, but do pay be-
fore tho close Of the volume, will be charged
ten per cent. additional, end those who ne
gIsct to pay all arrearages previous to the
2lst of January will be charged twenty five
per cent. with the additional proviso that
those who have paid us nothing since we
commenced the publication of the FREEMAN,
and who DO not take advantage Of either of
the propositions here made, will have their
papers discontinued, and suit for the recov-
cry of our claims will bs brought in every
instance in which the delinquent parties are
worth suing. OF course this last clause will
apply only 10 those who will then eve us for
the entire three years, but the other propo-
stiors are offered for the acceptance of all
indebted to us for one or more years. Our
prominent desire in collecting our :nouey be-
fore tbs 25th Of December is to enable US to
purchase new material with which to COM
meuce the new volume. and this should be
done during the holydays in order to have it
IN time for that purpose. That our paper
aeeds new types, and needs them badly, is
apparent to every reader, and we sincerely
hope that the money with which to purchase
them will be forthcoming at the proper time.
Daring December court the greater portion
of those in arrears can either bring or send
Us what they owe US. Those who cannot
reach us in that way. have the mail and
ether facilities at their command.
And now few words as to the future
The proper way to support paper is to pay
for 1t in advance. This method saves trouble
and annoyance to all parties, aud no person
who wishes to see his county paper prosper
and desires to render IL worthy of support,
should fail to adopt this plan. In order,
therefore, to encourage all to do so, we pro-
pose to accept sl.75 for the next volnme of
the FEEEMAx, if that amount is paid pre-
vous to or during the March term of court.
On the other hand. if payment is not made
before the lst Of May next, 1926 will be
charged; and If not paid before tho lst Of
August following, $3.50 will be required
We have fully made up our mind to adhere
20 these terms in the future. without regard
to persons. aud those who wish to save the
extra rs or so cents will understand how it
can be done. We trust that all indebted :.
no matter whether they owe us much or lit
tie. will settle before the close of the present
volume aud commence the next one on the
pay-in advance principle. If they will do
this. We will furnish them much neater
and much better paper than has ever been
published 10 this county.
