TO our SUBSCRIBERS.

The DEMOCRAT during the past
four years has not published n
dunning notice to subscribers, nor
does it at this time propose to dun
anyone for the amount due on his
subscription to this paper. Our
subscriber have, in the main, be-
come prompt-paying, and we can
boast Of having rapidly increasing
and well paid up subscription list.
The time has gone by when the
publisher of n country newspaper
~ expected to send out his paper
f. subscribers and wait until they
become two, three, Or four years in
arrears before asking them for pay.
About three years ago, on present
ing u bill to n man who had been
subscriber TO the DEMOCRAT for
five years and had never paid us Il
cent, we were answered nbout ms
follows: "WcIl ! don't need the
paper, but want to patronlzc you

to say that if we had kept very
many such subscribers upon our
books wo would have been forced
into involuntary bankruptcy long
ago; but to the credit Of our
subscribers, we can say, that but
very few Of them arc owing us
for more than Il yenr, while very
may of them have paid for
the DEMoCRAr in advance. We
have u larger and better subscrip-
ton list than ever before. The
large numbers Of unsolicited suh-
scribcrs which We have added 70

animated us with hope for the
fNturc, 10 our old, regular and
prompt-paying subscribers We ten
der our thanks for the aid aud ru-
couragement which they have given
us. 70 those who are somewhat in
in arrears, we would say tllat the
fault is perhaps "a much ours rs
theirs, for not sending out bills and
giving them nm opportunity Of
romiting To us the several amounts
due. And in order 60 open with
