70 OUR READERS.

The post office officials at Wash.
ington, D. G., have Just ruled that
q subscription to any publication,
( entered as second class matter,
must be discontinued when the
time for which it is paid in ad.
vance has expired.
We have on our list probably a
greater amount of legitimate sub
scribers than anv other paper Of
like size in the country subscrib-
ers who pay their subscription at
the end of every year, as our books
will show but this new ruling
would practically put US out OF
business If our subscribers failed to
pay in advance for the next year.
We have quite number OF readers
who have paid in advance but if
the remainder were to fail III this
respect it would SO reduce our cir
culation that our space would no.
longer be valuable to advertisers
and consequently we would have
to shut up shop. II this ruling is
not changed the great majority of
country papers will be compelled
to suspend publication, but, with
the aid Of our patrons and friends
we hope to be able to weather The
storm. II you are in arrears on
your subscription to your home
paper call at this Office ut once and
straighten the matter up and thus
help to keep paper in your town;
If you cannot call, send a money
order or check. It lie OF vital i'm
portance to US that you should do
this at once as ii is a matter OF life /
and death with a paper like ours.
Quite number Of people have
recently paid US for the year just
and to these we viii say
that their promptners has been APP
prsciated and we hope that they
have derived enough benefit from
the CHRONICLE to be willing to pay
another years subscription in ad |
vance Immediately.
We do not understand the reason
81 the ruling Of the department I'M
less they have been bought off " |
the big papers to shut out all small |
papers, and surely they have
adopted a very effective method.
