TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

During the past two months
accounts amounting to $500
have been sent to subscribers
of the COURIER, whose sub
scriptions are III arrears. OF
this sum only $3.50 has been
paid. We now ask those who
have received a statement of
their Indebtedness to the
COURIER and have not paid
same, to try to make some ar
rangement for settling the &C
count. The administrators of
the estate of the late editor of
this paper is under bond to
see that all claims due the
said estate are paid, and will
be compelled to place all I'M
settled accounts in the hands
of an officer for collection, as
required of her by law, if they
are not p'id at an early date.
This step will be equally as
unpleasant to us at it will be
to other parties concerned,
and it is hoped that all en-
debted to the COURIER will
come forward and settle, and
avoid forced payments.
