The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1872-08-15
THE LAST GALL.
A call through a newspaper for paw

either publishers, or subscribers, or read
| ers. Still it sometimes becomes necessary
even at the expense Of unpleasantness, to
call upon delinquent subscribers for pay
ment. When in the course of human
events subscribers become indebted to a
publisher for his paper for five years, it
! is time there should be last call There
is no inconsiderable number of subscribers
who have received the TELEGRAPH since
September 1st 1857 without making any
payment for it. It will be five years the
first of next September. This is just five
years too much. All such subscribers
should be required to pay in advance, or
do without the paper. But they have
had the paper without paying for it, and
we are new making the last call upon
them for payment which We shall make
through the TELEGRAPH. IF, after
they have received this call and after the
expiration of the five years, they do not
make payment, we shall either leave their
accounts with the proper officers for col
lection, or advertise through the TELE
GRAPH thsir accounts for sale to those
who will pay the most for them, as we
shall think best in each case. Some pub
fishers make it rule to publish the names
of those who receive their papers without
paying for them. The rule is good one,
provided the names of those who give
good reasons for non payment be not pub
lished.
Heretofore after calling through the
TELEGRAPH upon delinquent subscribers
for payment, we have sometimes been
asked who are they who are indebted for
subscription for the TELEGRAPH five
years. In reply we would say, some of
them can be seen any day of the week on
the streets of Kenosha. Some of them
are living on their capital or income, some
are or have been saloon keepers, some are
mechanics, some are teamsters and some
are laboring men. Others are living in
the country, some of whom own or occupy
good farms, while others are small farmers.
mechanics or laboring men. All or nearly
all are able to pay, and few would fail if
they made faithful efforts to make pay
ments.
To avoid hereafter as much as possible
making calls through the TELEGRAPH, for
payment of subscriptions, we would sa y
to all indebted to US that they are no w
called on for payment. We shall soon
proceed from those indebted five years to
those indebted four years, and from
those indebted four years to those indebted
three years,and from those indebted three
years to those indebted two years, and
shall pursue the same methods TO max c
collections. And we would say to all tina
we mean what we say. We were prepar-
ing last spring to pursue the course
now indicated when failure of health
prevented our proceeding to carry
it into execution. Since then we have
been greatly the loser from non payment
of what is due us. Now justice to our
self, justice to our paying subscribers, and
Ijustice even to our delinquent subscribers
require US to make collections.
We cannot close this article without
rendering our heartfelt thanks to all ad-
vance paying subscribers and all who
have paid up their subscriptions. Ani
we would tender in advance our grateful
thanks to all subscribers in arrears who
will without delay pay up their subscrip
tions. And we would tender too grateful
thanks to all endebted to us who will
make payment.
