Subscription Bills.
We have in preparation and will mail
during the next ten days, statements of
subscription account to all subscribers
whose labels date back of 1897. We
have several reasons why we send these
statements each year; the first and princi-
pal reason is, that money is necessary to
carry on business. A second reason is,
that our subscribers may know how the
accounts stand and if there is any error
that it may be corrected before it goes
too far. This year we send the bills a
little earlier than usual, perhaps before
some of our patrons have threshed, but
we don't expect to get our pay until you
realize on your crop, but we do expect it
then. In most cases the sums due are
comparatively small but the aggregate
amount, if all paid this fall, would put
the publishers on Easy Street. finan-
cially. Please oblige u.s.
