If you want 10 see the destruction

Who is responsible for the over.
loaded carts on steamer days? The
drivers say it is the merchants who
will not employ them if they make
more loads than others who over
load. If this is true, then let US put
the blame where 1t belongs. and let
the cart-men go free. Cruelty to
animals is punishable by law.
Many complaints are heard from
subscribers of their neighbors bor-
rowing The HERALD every day to
read the war news. One of these in
forms US that he suggested to one of
his friends, who is much Interested
in the war news, that he subscribes
for the paper, and on learning that
it costs only do lar month, the
latter promptly acted on the sugges-
ton. We are very much obliged to
the subscriber in question for eeCur-
ing us another subscriber, and
would appreciate it if others who
are thus worried with borrowing
neigbors would make the same sug-
gestion, aud rid themselves OF
nuisance at the same time that they
confer favor on Tic HERALD. Real
~, it is ashame 70 see who many fam
lilies are thus sponging upon their
deighbors instead of becoming sub
scribers to The HERALD themselves.
From two TO half a dozen families
are reading single copy of the pa
per every day, when in nearly every
instance the borrowers are fully able ,
to pay the small subscription price .
OF course, there are some who real
" are not able to subscribe, and IS
these are excusable if they borrow
the paper. But as to those who are
able to take it, yet continue to read
q HERALD that is paid for by some
one else, we would like to ask them 7
if they don't think that paper !
which is worth reading is worth pay
ing for. The support which the
paper receives from our English
people is pitifnIly small any E
way, and when we consider The
number of subscribers who never
have pay day, il is surprising thai a
Brownsville has paper al all. IL
