An interesting Easter concert was given
at the M. E. church last evening, under
the efficient leadership Of F. W. Cutting.
There was a large chorus choir and orches-
ira which rendered fine music and the
children did their part most admirably
On the whole, it was one of the finest
exercises ever given in this place. There
were nearly five hundred people present
and all were highly pleased with the
entertainment. Mr.. Cutting is to be con-
graduated on his success in arranging for
and carrying out such a splendid program
for it involved much hard work on his
part. and he is one of the busiest men in
the community. There was a large at
tendance at the forming service. An ab
stract of the sermon will be given next
week.

We are sending out statements to all
who are in arrears on this paper and en-
deavoring to get our list in better con-
dition. We have a good many subscribers
who are several years in arrears and we
want them to pay up as quickly as pos
sible. In some cases the parties may have
paid and we failed to give them the proper
credit, and in such cases if they will notify
US we shall be glad to rectify all mistakes.
A few have felt offended because of re-
ceiving statements and have ordered their
papers discontinued, yet if these same men
were to owe a bill at a grocery store and
ctoto Of
would pay it gladly, understanding that
the business relations of both would be
better for it. While we do not wish to
offend any of our patrons it is better for
us to close out our old accounts even with
the loss of few subscribers, than to con-
tinue sending the paper to those who are
either unable or unwilling 20 pay. State
ments to all who are owing for several
years back will be sent out at regular in
tervals and if we do not hear from them
we shall take other means of collecting
them.
