The business year of this Office
ends on October Ist. AT that time
l desire to open a new set of books,
and do not wish to carry over any old
accounts. All persons indebted on
subscription are requested to settle
by that time. There are many hun
dreds of dollars due, ranging in sums
from one to ten dollars, a small
amount for each one who owes, but
in the aggregate much larger sum
than l can afford to carry. Notices
will be sent out, and it is earnestly
hoped that all who are in arrears will
make payment by the date mention
ed.
l dislike very much to publish these
dunning notices, much more than oul
readers dislike to see them, but l an
forced to do it because a newspaper
can't be run on wind and promises
1t takes money, and having earned
the money, and needing it in m,
business, l am compelled to ask for it

FISHING IN MISSISSIPPI

John Alien would Like TO Initiate
President Cleveland
That prince OF story-tellers and
yarn-spinners, Private John Allen OF
Tupelo, Miss, who h the funny man"
OF congress and the successor In that
line OF the late Sunset Cox and the
relocated Proctor Knott, often strolls
In to pass away an hours time says
the Arkansas Democrat. While Presi-
dent Cleveland was away on q recrea-
ton trip recently Private John dropped
around to the hotel one evening, and,
after some other conversation, the sub
ject turned to the presidents liking for
rod and gun. Then Allen told this:
During one OF those long and friendly
conversations which the president and
/ so often held I invited him to Mis-
sissippi to fish. There Is nothing pleas
anter or easier than the way we follow
Izaak Walton in my state. We hire
band Of colored gentlemen and they
carry q large jug Of whisky to q cool,
shady nook by the river and We follow
them We sit down In the cool shady
nook and watch the jug while the col
ored gentlemen cut a cord or two OF
brush and bushes. These are for 9
seine. When We are ready to begin
fishing each OF the colored gentlemen
takes Q bunch of the brush In either
hand and thus armed they throw q line
Of battle out into the bayou or river
or wherever we chance TO be fishing.
We sit on the bank and tell them where
to 90. When all is ready the line Of
battle, with the brush under water,
a very capital seine. swings
