Annual Collecting Trip.

AS IS our custom, a representative
OF this paper will visit the several
towns in this vicinity within the next
few weeks, for the purpose of receiv-
ing subscriptions to this paper and
also collecting accounts due us. We
make this trip in order that our pat
rons may be saved the trouble of send
ing us the money, and also to receive
renewals before the first of the new
year. In thus doing, many parties
who take other papers with this can
have them continued without inter
ruption.
We urge all who are owing us to
see the collector when he visits their
town and pay portion or all of the
account. We are more than ever
convinced of the need of cash to run
a newspaper, and we hope there will
be prompt response to this appeal.
