For the information of certain shiftless
or dishonest persons who allow a paper
to run from three to six weeks after the
paid subscription expires, we state: The
MONITOR is always discontinued at the
expiration of paid subscriptions if it is
ordered to be stopped. Our agents are
instructed specially to be careful in put
ting the stop mark on all papers when
the subscriber desires it done. The
MONITOR will not be stopped when there
Is an arrears due on it. Pay up all ar
rearaees and order the paper stopped if
you desire it stopped, but do not attempt
the dishonest experiment of beating the
poor printer out OF his dues. He has the
power to make it decidedly unpleasant
for such persons.
