4 SLIGHT REMINDER.-The GOLD LEAF
does not like to remind its friends of their
Indebtedness to it, Chose who are behind
in their payments we mean) because they
have enough unpleasant things to think of
without that, but it requires money to run
a newspaper just like any other business,
and we find our bank account mighty
small some times. We need what money
is due u.s. This reminder it seems to US is
all that is necessary. If YOU know your
self to be in arrears Sand all subscriptions

theIi-please let us have the amount. We
need it to'succesSfully carry on our BUSH
ness, and so in helping us you Will be help
