During the past week this office has
been in receipt of three letters from
subscribers who are two months or
more in arrears and are being annoy
ed with monthly bills for their sub
scription, the writer's expressing the
wish that the bills be not sent and
promising to pay at some stated time,
or as soon as possible. Such letters
are always welcomed and, unless un-
intentional error be made no more
bills are sent until a reasonably suf-
ficient time-two or three months
have afforded the subscriber oppor-

eight cases out of every ten subscrip-
ton accounts are not paid because
the subscriber has overlooked the
fact of expiration; in n case of ev-
cry ten 1t is because the subscriber
has moved away. To remind these
eight and to ascertain the removal OF
the ninth the sending of bills is nee
essary. We now have very few sub
scribers more than six months In ar
rears and after March list the rule OF
declining to carry subcribers more
than six months in arrears will be
strictly adhered to; the only excep.
ton being in cases where the sub
scriber has personally or by letter
expressed a wish that the paper be
continued and promising to pay at
J some stated future time.
