WE send out this week some state
ments to our subscribers who are
behind on their subscriptions for
a year or more, so that when they
come to court they can bring us
along a little of the needful. We
have bought the entire subscription
list Of Mr.. Kildow and this money is
due us and we must have it i'm the
business as it takes money to IL a

dun our friends, but we want them
TO know that all money due the AR
GUS Is payable to us and we must
have these old debts aH seftled nm by

books of Mr.. KIldow partly to oblige
him, partly to accommodate our
subscribers and because it was nee
essary in orr business. We 4
collect this better than Mr.. Kildow;
our friends can settle with us easier
and there will be much less danger
Of mistakes and MISUNDERSTANDING.
There were lots Of little sums due
here and there that i'm the aggregate
amounted to a good deal and Mr..
Kildow could not afford to loose it
and still it would be q great deal
Of trouble to collect it and a great
annoyance to our subscribers to re-
NIT such triflcs and so to q v trou-
bic all around we bought the whole
business. We hope our friends will
appreciate this and be prompt i'm
their remittance. Where you arc
behind for a year and more YOU
must remit us something on sub
scription, as this large additional
outlay has crampcd MS in our bust

JUDGE HoKE is inaugurating a
needed reform in the court system
by making some very practical
changes. Insted Of having the grand
jury come the third day as hereto
fore, he now has it the first day of
court and this gives more time to
try the criminal cases that NAV
come up and dispose Of as many of
them as possible at the same term.
thereby giving men who may be in
prison or under bond, their trial AS
soon as possible and while the
grand jury is at work the court is
going on with the chancery cases
first and such as simply involve
questions Of law and do not reniire
the attention Of the prosecuting at
torney, thereby enabling him TO
give all his time to the work Of the
grand jury, and thus q Y useless
litigation and prevent the bringing
Of indictments that cannot be gus-
tanned.
