 The date on the address label of every copy of the NEWS sent to regular subscribers is either bill or receipt. That depends on whether the subscrip- tion is paid in advance. We always dislike to dun subscribers through the medium of the newspaper columns, therefore about month ago we spent nearly three days time in making out and sending bills to subscribers who are in arrears. A few subscribers have responded-and we sincerely thank them-but the majority have paid no attention to the bills sent them. Please bear the fa ct in mind that we sent the bills out because we needed the money, and not simply for the fun of doing it. A subscriber never ought to wait for a bill before paying his subscription especially when the address label tells every week how the subscription stands. But what will the recording angel some day say to those who do not pay their subscriptions even after re- ceiving 6 bill made cut in due form? ? This item is intended mainly for out-of- town subscribers. To those who have not received bill in regular form we would say: Please examine the address label and if you owe for subscription thon remit promptly. for the printer does not covet the labor of making out bills. Pay the printer 90 that he may pay the butcher, the baker and the pill maker.
