We shall soon make our annual
collecting tour through the county,
and we hope and expect to meet, not
only those who make it a rule to paw
for the paper in advance, but those,
as well, who are now in arrears. We
find it requires the cash, and a good
deal of it, to run a paper and meet
our bills. We have therefore con-
cluded, in short, that delinquents
must pay up. The majority of our
patrons are prompt in meeting their
bills and TO them we make our bow,
and extend thanks. We respectfully
submit that those who stand back can
make no complaint, reasonably, if we
drop on them with writ, or in some
other emphatic manner. Your bill

DIED.-In johnson, Jan. sth, 1884, of consump-
tion' Fannie II. Whiting. aged 43 years, wife of
Almon q. Whiting.
For many long months a great suffer
er, she has gained at last the rest she so
much coveted. Calmly patient and
wholly forgettul of self, she strove to
comfort her dear ones with words of
tenderest love and wisest counsel. Re-
aliZing full well what home would be
without mother there, she planned. as
only dying Christian mother can plan,
for the future welfare of her Borrowing
family. Surrounded with everything
that makes life desirable,-a pleasant
home, kind husband, loving children,
an aged mother and fond sisters, yet
could she say "for me to die is gain"
Death, whose coming we so dreaded, was
a welcome guest to her. since He opened
wide to her freed spirit the gates of
everlasting life and joy. May the Lord
richly bless that husband and aged
mother, who, through the long days and
longer nights, have watched unwearily
beside her couch of pain, anticipating
and gratifying every want and wish.
Dear sister,-we mourn for you, but we
are greatly comforted, for we do not
think of you as lying in your snow en-
shrOuded grave, but as a bright immOr
tai spirit, enjoying the perfect happiness
of Heaven. Most earnestly do we pray
that your hope may be our hope. your
faith our faith, and when the summons
comes for us, may we find that death is
but kind and gentle servant, who un-
