OUR dead BEAT" LIST.
Look Out For New Names In This
List as We Find Them
Out.

N 49, iioS VI our
dead beat su bscribers and below are
some Of them. Look out for addl-
tions to this "Roll OF Dishonor. for
when we find out that man is de.
termined to beat us out Of an hon
est debt on subscription. We will
publish him, in order that tho pub-
lie may profit br our loss. Tho
man who will take paper for years
and then move away without set
tling up or notifying the publisher
deserves to wear striped clothing
and break rock on stone pile.
Then again, tho mau who will take
a paper year or two and then have
it marked refused and allow il
to remain dead in the office till the
postmaster notifies the publisher,
without paying for it, has soul so
small that 1t will probably be over
looked on that last great day.
There are men who will take q
paper just as long rs the publisher
will send it to them, and never
have any intention OF paying for it
and then when asked 10 settle up,
will lie enough about 1t to run q
soap factory. They are generally
so worthless that it is no use to sue
them and il they have little more
than the law allows them, they will
schedule or hide Vt under pctticoats.
Now gentle reader IL you have paid
us for your paper or intend to do
so, this IS not meant for you, but
only for the party who has already
or intends to beat us out OF his
subscription. Here are few spe.
clmens
j. w. Faikcnstine OF Williams
town, Mo. SO far away that we
couldn't get at him and probably
don't care what We say about him.
William p. Faberty. The paper
was sent to him Mt Elkins. W. Va.
Myersdale, Pa, and Mt. Savage,
Md, and then We lost sight of him
and have never yet got a eight Of
his money.
Daniel Miller, OF Brandonyille,
took the paper four years and then
refused point blank to pay for it,
and when we sued him he sched-
uled to keep from paying an honest
debt. There is only one place in
the State where this kind of man
should be.
Thomas Mouser Of Elk Garden,
left there and also left us "ln the
soup"
II. l.. Guscman, Williamstown,
No., who probably thinks this
world owes him living with news
papers thrown in.
G.. G.. Gordon, New Interest W.
Va. This party paid no attention
to a polite statement, and when we
wrote letter, replied, and declined
to pay us. We then sent the
account to al T.. and have heard
nothing from either since. Sup
pose they have divided it between
them.
J. q. Blackwood, Wallace Mo-,
not knowing us, probably thinks
We are a bloatcd bondholder and
considers it his pious duty to steal
whatever he can from all such
favored Of fortune.
w. S. Shrout, Wilsonia w. Va,
moved away without sending us
word or anything else, not even a
lock Of his hair and left us sending
his paper on till the z. NJ. notified
rs Of his stealing away (also eur
paper).
G.. a. Feather, Kearncy, Ncb.,
is another nice specimen Of human
ity who probably thinks he has
done something smart in beating as
out Of money badly needed in our
business, but The smarting part Of
It will come in later on when old
Gabriel sends for him.
w. NJ. Glenn, Hambleton, w.
Va, is a sweet scented sample,
supposed to be a man, because he
seems built that way. lie will have
to have q little settlement with ne
before he can play on karp and
wear white wings
John Holtyman, Meridetb.
Kansas, read and enjoyed the
AHeus several years. Knowing
