To Our PATRONS Now that our ex-
Ipenses are much greater than formerly,
We shall be compelled to ask every midi.
vidual who is indebted to us, to call and
settle the same at once. There are grea
many dollars due rs on subscription, and
the parties are abundantly able to pay at
any time, and we want them to do so now.
We have been rather easy with our adver-
tisers-not because our business Is not le-
gitimate-but for the reason that they re-
sponded so readily to our call for money
when we commenced the publication of
this paper. But In the future we shall
send in our bills at the end of each quar-
ter. and shall expect prompt payment.
Buying new type and erecting q new
building has embarrassed Us considerably,
and again we ask those who are owing
rs to come forward and pay up at once.
We hope we shall not be compelled to re-
peat this call.

One of our prominent business men, who
was once unfortunate enough to be a news.
paper man, came in this morning with an
item of news, and incidentally remarked
that if all would do the same, the daily
papers would be full. But the trouble is
that most people have an idea that an ed
itor ought to be omniscent and know ev-
erything that is going on.
