Make your dollars go as far as
possible and keep them going, it You

ton TO the editors of the MESSENGER
in that the people showed by their
votes that they have plenty of money,
or at any rate that they do not want
any more. That being true, we would
suggest that they come forward aud
settle their subscriptions.
