due on subscriptions. Summer time
the dull season, is now on and We
need the money.
Wa have on Our subscription list
some individuals who have let several
years elapse and have not paid us one
cent, and The Times has been q re-
gular weekly visitor to their homes
during all this time. Such negli-
gence in settling up with us can place
us in very trying position. We have
obligations to meet, and meet soon,
and we depend largely upon our sub
scribers to help us meet these press
ing obligations.
If any OF these delinquents men
TONED have met with reverses this ar
ticle is not intended for them, and we
will further state that The Times
will cheerfully and uncomplainingly
be sent to them in the hope that when
fortune does smile upon them they
will remember the trials and tribula-
tions Of the country editor and then
help him along on his rough journey
through life. and if they will write
us we will cancel the debt or extend
the time ae the case justiies. Our
long connection with The Times has
made us more or less familias with
the circumstances of our readers and
we believe that very small number
OF them have met with such great
misfortunes that they cannot pay up.
Some people can never rid them
selves Of the idea that newspaper,
and especially county newspaper,
does not need money to cary on it's
work, and week after week they re.
ceive their paper, free gratis, as far
as they intend to pay, and never give
the editor as much as a careless
thought Many newspaper man has
been branded as N. g. and has never
had enough money to get a rating
With Dunn & Bradstreet because he
vas compelled to keep his deposits or
,arnings in the pockets of this class.
Ne are glad to say, however, that
hougb people of this stamp are very

heir names on our lists.

ion dues and vote in this contest.
