Subscribers Pay Uo.

1t is not the habit of the publisher to do
persistent dunning; but there is a tide in the
affairs of men which taken at the flood leads
ON to glory; so there is a time in the life of
the publisher when a little cash seems to be
necessary, in addition to glory. An urgent
invitation is extended our delinquent sub
scribers to call at once and settle up. In
other words we must have some money.
