these notices was that we find a
large amount due from this

that we have been very Ienient
with all of our subscribers but
in placing a large amount of
new material in our Office during
the past year we have been to a
very great expense and at this
time are very much in need of
money. We have asked Our sub
scribers to come into the Office
and pay their accounts in full.
We do not want to coliect ANY of
these accounts by distress, and
if there is any reason why your
subscription has not been paid,
we will consider it a favor 1T yOs4.

January all accounts. that have
not been settled, or an arrange
ment made with MS for settae-
ment al some future time, will
be sens to a collection agency
for collection. Kindly give this
matter your attention and If yoa
are i'm hard luck and have NOT
the money at the present tinae
give us some idea of what time
yoa will be able to settles or do
not he angry when presented
with the account by d collection
agency and asked to- pay same.

Mr.. Fred Urban and Miss Pauline
Luckow were united in marriage at the

acquainted with Mr.. Urban, but if he
makes as good a husband as Pauline
will a wife, they viii be a model couple
and may happiness attend them.
H.. e. Ash and wife left Saturday to
visit their son, DIR. James, at Willow
Lake, after which they will go to Okla
homa to look the country over, with a
view of settling there. Mr.. Ash aud
his bus have 1870 acres of as fine land
here al South Dakota affords, the finest
grove in my knowledge, a splendid
orchard of over 200 apple, plum and
cherry trees just beginning to bear
nicely Last season they raised 1850
bushels Of grain, have 40 hogs, % horses
and 75 head of cattle, and your Uncle
John don't believe he will pull up stakes
