Those whose time expired at the
Same date, but who have not paid for
tho last volume, just closed; and those
whose indebtedness runs still further
back, will find inclosed in their re.
spcctive papers this week, bills for
what is duo, which wo hopo they will
pay soon, and also for ANOTHER YEAR
IN ADVANCE, in accordance with our
terms. Those who owe for year or
more need not DO surprised if the

them, till they pay up" We must
approximate closely a cash-in advance
system. because it is the only one up
on which newspaper can be sustain

this thought upon all, so there may bt
no cause for misunderstanding or JUS
complaint.
There is more money in circulation
now than there may be for severa
months to come, and We need all tina
