0bituaries.-We have received sew
eral obituary notices this week that
we are compelled to leave out for want
of space. We will take pleasure in
publishing notices of this kind, not
exceeding fifteen or twenty lines in
length. Our friends must remember
that these notices, while they are very
interesting to the friends of the de-
ceased, do not interest the general
public. The city papers charge for
these notices, but we will do nothing
Of the kind. We want to treat all our
patrons alike and must therefore asl;
that obituaries be made as brief as the
circumstances will premit.

appear on your paper this week fol
the last time Next week nothing will
appear, not even the paper, We arc
sorry to leave you.
