TO OUR PATRONS.

We earnestly request all subscribers
OF the LEADER who have not paid
their subscriptions, to do so if posi-
BILE now. We will send out state
ments accounts during the next week
or two to those indebted to us, but when
PARTIES know they are due a subscrIp-
ton, We hope they will not wait for
such notices. The dullcst season of
the year is coming on and we must
pay cash for paper, ink and printers,
and unless those who are indebted to
us will settle up, this cannot be done.
Remember, too, that ii is "a small
amount to each individual subscriber.
but that these little sums put together
amount to a great deal to the publish
or. Those whose time is about out
would greatly favor us by prompt re-
ncwalS.
In this connection we would also
ask every true friend to the paper To
work and talk for it and try to get lis
one or more new subscribers. 4 pa
