Notice to Subscribers.

Up to date our collections have
been very unsatisfactory, and as a
matter of business and justice, We
must insist, at least, for a part OF
our dues. No business can be run
without money, and we, therefore,
ask those who are behind to come or
Send and settle. We will, at the
end of this month, be compelled to
strike the names of careless sub
scribers off our list. Those who can
not meet our terms: 25c for three
months, soc for six mouths, 81 for
one year. do not want a paper.
