special mention of a few who have been
faithful patrons for some years:
First, in walks B. w. Pope and lays
down So paying up Old scores and a
year in advance. This makes in all
nine years that Mr.. Pope has paid for.
Soon after Paul Voightlander. Of
Westside, drops in on his way home
from Wisconsin, and lays down $3.50,
for year back and a year forward:
This completes II years OF patronage
for Mr.. Voightlander, without break
or q complaint, and the amount in all

public receipt.
And next, to keep up the standing Of

This completes about eight years for
Mr.. Johnson and makes the amount
paid on subscription about $3.50, be.
sides considerable in other patronage.
Before Mr.. johnson gets fairly out Of
the door, in pops A. s. Meacham, an
other royal West Ender, from Grand
Prairie, and shakes his fist at US with
$3.50 to back it up and secure the

ANS seventh year.
Aud now comes Otto Berreau, of
Hersey, faithful without a break for

pocket, gets out S., and makes clean
breast of it by telling us to send him
the paper hereafter to Helena, NJ. 7.
Before this Payne-ful scene is ended,
in steps Geo. B. Stiles, Of Fulda, for
merly of Seward township, and init
mates that he wishes to make it an even
four years, one in advance, and planks
down 81. We trade a receipt for this
81, wish him long life, and call "Next!"
Well, Sir, in pops J. Ebert, of Hersey,

gentlemen aud to pay for his sixth year
in advance. And thereby hangs little
story. Mr.. Ebert is the ''banner town.

has paid regularly in advance and has
always walked III just about on the day
when the old year WAS up to begin 4
''happy new year."
VIM. Parry, of Little Rock, meets us
on the street and hands US year in
advance, completing his tenth year,
which is paid us regularly as clock
work and nearly always in advance.
Last but not least, or rather later in
getting in, comes NJ. J. Bryan, of
Grand Prairie, and lays down the cash
to complete nine years for himself and
seven years for friend to whom he
sends it in Iowa. lie is distinguished
above nearly all others for one thing,
viz: he has taken two copies for seven
years, sending one away.
