Those people who order the MONITOR
stopped should pay arrearages at cents
each issue in arrears. We notified every
body who desired to stop the MONITOR to
drop us a card to that effect. It is just as

issues as it would be for us to beat him
out of a months subscription. Send US
pay for arrearages and we will stop it
every time.

have not INDUCED In the pleasures of this
disease will now have u favorable oppor
tunity to do so. The diseases appear to
be running rather light.
