A Word to our Patrons.

requires cash to publish q newspaper.
Under these circumstances we are M
der the necessity of calling upon our
patrons for prompt settlement of their
accounts both for subscription and ad-
vertising.
There are few, very few, sub
scrioers who have paid nothing for the
INDEPENDENT since Jan. l, 1887. OF
which time we took control of the
paper. TO such persons we have only
to say that we cannot publish n paper
ior nothing. We have waited patiently,
trusting that their remittanccs would
come In due time; we shall continue to
send them the paper until Jan. l, 1889.
at which time the INDEPENDENT will be
discontinued to all subscribers who are
two years in arrears. We are COM
PEELED to take this course MS a matter
of self-protection, but We trust that no
one will be dropped from our subscrip-
ton list. Please take notice and gov.
ern yourselves accordingly.
