preciating 40 to 50 per cent.

ton book that we have about $1,000 due
us every cent of which should be paid
IN ten days. We dislike TO keep continu-
ally .drumming but what can we do; 1t
takes money to run newspaper and

shall place them in a collectors hands |

riice to enable him to look after his in
heritance. We congratulate Simon on
his good luck, at the same time thel
public who patronize him will derive
a big benefit. ~ az
