We are going to trsnscribe our subscrip>

living outside Of Beaver county, who are not
paid up to date will be cut Of We suppose
oil Of our foreign subscribers intend to pay
up some time, but IL has been our exper-
fence that i5 per cent Of them never do, and
while we would like TO keep ali of them, we
are not rich enough to afford to 60 on year
after year, sending them the paper and pay
ing postage ON it, unless they all "ante" oc-
casionally. With the subscriber living in
this county il is different. 1e has business
interests here. and even if he gets several
years behind, we know that we can collect
it. We ask no man to take this paper from
charitable motive. We endeavor to give
you your dollars worth, aud fatter ourself
that we have always done so. We would
rather have 500 subscribers who consider
that they are getting the worth of their mon
ey, than l,00O who take the paper as nm &C
commodation. The fsrmer class always
pays; the latter seldom does.
No names will appear on our new
book except those who are paid in advance.

ton Of crazy man who had been rambling

the remark that he would probably wander
around here for some time. Since then the
women living in the country have been
afraid to 60 outside of their houses, for fear
they would meet the crazy man. 1t was a
case of misplaced confidence, this time, bow-
ever, for the aforesaid crazy man hit the road
