reaching into years, 1t goes on telling
OF marriages, births, deaths, the coming

were to undertake to write letter to an

comforting words to those bereft Of
loved ones.
His departure from us is loss to our
town of an upright and respected citi

fearless preacher Of the Word.
We cheerfully give to him this de-

1t is the experience OF publishers that
too many people are apt to think it
matters but little whether the news
paper bill is paid promptly or not-that
it is but small sum and therefore OF
little consequence. And this is not be-
cause subscribers are unwilling to pay
but rather because they are negligent.
Each one imagines that because his
years indebtedness amounts to but
small sum, the publishers cannot be
much in need OF it without moments
thinking that the income Of news
paper is made up OF just such small
accounts, and that the aggregate of all
subscribers is by no means an inconsid-
crate sum Of money .-Brockwayville
