The Conservative. (M'connelsville, Ohio) 1866-1871, 1870-11-25


BF 1914. o o. 80
This might not be considered by
many OF all of those owing their ipdi-
vidual portion of it, as a very large a.
mount of money, as every dollar of it
is due from men able to pay but
small as it may appear, We wish all to
be assured that it is a very considers
bic sum to Us, and, if we had it, it
would make us glad many times, and
then some.
Think of this, sll you that have been
owing us for one, two and three years
back Think Of this, all you whose
Indebtedness began with the begin
ming of the present volume of our pa
perl But we pray you not to think too
Iong before you give is 8 call and do
your portion toward making US rejoice.
FFve Hundred and Fourteen Dollars, all
in ones pocket, would make any Coun-
try Publisher in the State as proud as
a Peacock with his tail in full bloom.
He could go round to this and that
man, ask for his account, and pay it
off with the air of a millionaire and
then he could walk the streets With
head erect, rejoicing in the belief that
everybody considered him an honest
man.
Butchers, Grocers. Merchants, &c,
who had been looking ct him askance
for a year, would begin to bow to him,
ask after his health, invite him to call
round and see them, and be friendly in
general with him. His employees
would work more faithfully, energetic
ally and cheerfully. He could get his
wife the new dress and other "fxins"
she had been teazing for for a year.
The babies, too, could rejoice in new
bibs, and aprons, and froeks- He could
gethimself a new hat, coat, pants, vest,
and boots. In short, he would be
slapped on the back and called good
fellow by everybody, could dress his
family and himself in good style and, |
On Sundays, go to church, see the fash
ions, and sleep through the sermons,
like civilized folks do. There Is no end
to what a Country Publisher could do
ifhe had but "a S5I4.OO Ea in
his pocket.
But then there is another view to be
taken of this highly important ques-
ton. Ifyou would but pay the print
er promptly, you wouldn't feel like
crossing the street, or turning a cor
ner, or running down an alley every
time you see said printer approaching
you on the street. Yoa could walk up
to him, and shake hands and talk with
him. just as you would with any other
man. You could read your paper with
more interest and with a clear cor
science and your paper would be bet
ter, too, in all respects, for the very
reason that the publisher has the
wherewith to make it better, and does
not have to spend his time in devising
ways and means TO get the funds ne
cessary to carry on his business.
So, viewing the matter from both
these standpoints, would it not be well
for every man who knows he is in ar
rears for the CONSERVATIVE, land we will
venture there is not a man owing US
but what knows it, to call immediate.
~ and settle his bill ? We think it
would, and we hope there is nota man
on our list but what viii coincide with
as. /
So, now, friends, let US see or hear
from all of you Immediately. Its our j
to publish a good, County pa !
per, and we want you to assist US by 6
US just what is our due. Don't {
think that your little bill will not do
us much good, and that we Fan get a. S
iong without it until some other time. G
This is an error you are entertaining
# you so think. We want the very dol
or two dollars, that you wv us :
We want the whole of this $5I4.O0 7
Immediately. :
