ownership of the Spirit Of Jefferson, We sent
out accounts to large number Of our patrons
: This was not done as mere matter of form :,
but because We need money, and those who
eve Us should pay. Weknow times are hard
but however hard they may be, we have still
the same expenses to meet. The fact that
eur accounts are generally small, does not
lessen the obligation in single case, but
rather increases it, from the natural ,cnden-
ey of mankind to neglect small matters. We
are not unreasonable. but we must nave means
20 conduct our business. We therefore
hope our friends will heed this appeal, aud
give Us generous response. If you cannot
pay ell you owe US, don't let that prevent you
from paying parf, and to that extent light
ening the burdens of our financial de partment
