send out few more. Some of those
who received one have risen up in
wrath and stopped their paper, while
others have taken it cool and consider
ate, come in and paid up their indebt-
edness and one year in advance. There
are men, who, no matter how mild
may be the letter informing them that
they are in arrears will take it as q
great insult, not thinking for mom-
ent that we have number of accounts
on our books, although small, which
amount to some hundreds of dollars
standing with the public, and our limit
Ell means will not permit us to carry
them. We are forced TO pay cash for
our material, running expenses. etc.,
and if our patrons would al! pay us
promptly we could make comfortable
living, but as it is we are pressed to
meet our obligations. Look at this
matter in the right light when you re-
ceive one of those letters.
