Disreputable Practice.

THE ARGUS has received Information
from several residents of the county that
the Rock Islander has been mailed to their
address when they never ordered it, and
that the representations made to them were
such as led them to believe that the paper
was printed at THE ARGUS Office and was
venture in which THE ARGUS was inter
ested-that it was kind of branch OF The
ARGUS. We wish here 10 correct the
in pression produced by this most con-
temptible Misrepresentation. j. b. Dar-
forth was removed by THE ARGUS Printing
Company from the editorship of The
ARGUS on purely business grounds little
over q year ago. and since that time has had
nothing to do with the business or editing
of THE ARGUS. and furthermore the Rock
Islander has no connection. whatever,
with THE ARGUS. We want democrats to
understand distinctly that THE ARGUS is
too good democratic paper to have any
connection with paper whose teachings are
calculated to injure the democratic cause,
or with any concern that forces its
publication upon unwilling readers under
the plea of old acquaintance or old party
affiliations No one who receives THE
ARGUS without having previously ordered
it sent to them will ever be asked to pay
for it. For the Information of those who
have thus been imposed upon by the Rock
Islander, we give the following law:
Any person who takes paper from the
post office, as a regular subscriber, becomes
liable to the publisher, whether such per-
son ever subscribed for the paper or not;
and after continuing to so take the paper
from the Office for time, the paper cannot
be stopped until all arrearages are paid,
except at the option Of the publisher; and
the publisher can continue to send the
paper to the address of the subscriber and
collect pay therefor, whether the sub
scriber takes it from the Office or not.
The way to stop the paper is to pay up
and order the publisher to discontinue it;
do this by going or writing to the pub
Usher, always keeping copy of your order.
If the paper continues to come to you tel
the post master to return it every week.
