There is ne denying the fac: that we are

scarce in our community. The adoption d
the cash system by our merchants last winter

circumstances-the low price of grain and
Hour, and the want of market, have COM
bined to increase the difficulties of tllosc from
whom we. receive mainly our support-the

majority of the later to piy everybody be-

us for everything we use in publishing the
