A letter circular recently arrived at
the Herald office which contained the
| following astounding announcement:
/" We are informed 1t is very difficult to
procure good liquor IN your town."
Well, yes, it is; or any other kind,
for that matter; at least a friend visit
ing at the residence of the editor was
unable to procure half a pint of alcohol
for fuel for a small cooking lamp
which he used on his trip to California.
The prohibition law of Dakota needs
some changes. 1t is impossible to get
a drop of liquor in Hurley at the pres
ent time, even in case of sickness.
The last month of the year has now
commenced, and we should all endeav-
er to straighten our financial accounts
with our neighbors and those with
whom we do business, on or before the
opening of the new year. If you can
not pay all, have IA settlement, and
know what the balance is. so that you
can enter upon the new year with II full
understanding of your financial condi-
ton. OF course these remarks do not
apply generally to the subscription ac-
counts due the Herald. for they bear
date of every week in the year, and the
farmers pay whenever they turn off
stock or produce. There are some ac-
counts of this nature, however, which
should receive prompt and immediate
attention. In some instances the par
ties owing are in town every few days.
and doubtless think, "well I'll wait
till l'm in next time before go up and
see the printer" And SO it goes from
time to time. while they carry the mon
ey around in their pocket; and the "prin-
ter" has to let his bills go unpaid, or
else has to call on the banker, (and
most of you know what that means)
tfyou cannot pay all. pay part, and
show by your acts that you are glad
there is newspaper in Hurley to repre-.
sent the interests of this portion of the
state and county and that you are glad
of an opportunity to help maintain it
