Notice!
We make general and urgent
call for the settlement of delin-
quent subscriptions. There is a
large number of persons who ought
to pay within the next few weeks.
Their accounts arc long past due,
and payment ought not 60 be ,ong-
er delayed. We have been very
lenient the past two years but du-
ty to our own interests requires us
to insist upon settlement. 1t costs
money to issue THE DEMocRAT;our
bills must be met promptly, and
it is just and seasonable that we
should expect prompt pay for the
paper. We feel very grateful to
the large number who habitually
respond promptly when their sub
4 scription is due. We are grateful
for their words of praise and en-
couragement, ard we hope their
number will continually increase.

Awful to Contemplate.
From the Humboldt (Tenn.) Leader
Review,
An exchange declares that 'the pret-
tiest sight on our streets for many
moons was lady bicyclist clad in one
of Mrs.-'s latest style winter hats.
What a spectacle she would present if
that hat should be blown off.
Of course we don't expect to at

wager our Office towel that the
man who kicks the most because
the paper don't suit him, never
gave a cent towards its building,
besides being a cash-up in advance
