CONCERNING ADVANCE PAYMENT.


A considerable number of our old
readers will fail to receive their week
ly visit from the News AND CITIZEN
this week, all owing to their paying
no attention to the notice regarding
payment in advance, which has been
published for several months. We
regret very much to part company
with any Of our readers, but if there
are those who do not care to pay for
the paper, it is bett9rfor them a. well
as for ourselves that it be stopped.
To those who are still owing us we
would say that we have sent them
the last appeal and that as soon as
possible all these accounts will be put
into proper hands for collection.
We are very gratefulfor the general
response that has been made to our
request and while we acknowledge
thanks for this, we trust that the
News AND CITIZEN has been made so
valuable and interesting that it has
become a necessity and that these re-
mittances are indications that it is a
welcome guest to the home and fire.
