TO OUR READERS.

We have already marked from
our list several subscribers who are
more than a year IN arrears with
their subscriptions and this is the
last time we will mention the mat
ter in the paper. A recent ruling
ofthe posto flee department requires
newspapers to pay heavy postage
on all subscriptions that are more
than year in debt, which, practi-
caIly, bars the newspapers from
crediting their subscribers for Il
greater period. We are not the
only ones who are having trouble
over this ruling for we notice that
all the country papers are telling
their readers about it. 1t is not Il
matter of choice with any of us,
but we are forced TO collect, ip Il
short time, from those who arc de-
lInqucnt for more than Il year or
cut them off, for the postage is great
er than we can afford to pay. We
do not desire to lose single sub
scriber, but unless those more than
n year in arrears pay up in the next
few days we will be compelled to
mark them from our list, and send
them statements as soon as posi-
BILE. We have been patient with
you, now be just with us; look at
the date on the address label Of
your paper, which will give you
the time to which your subscription
is paid. and figure what your delIn-
quency amounts to, at 81 It year,
and send or bring it in. The
amount is not large for you, besides
YOU have had the use of the money
and the benefits of the paper, too,
but it will aggregate quite q little
sum if all pay us. We do not en-
JOY dunnlng our subscribers, nor
are we in the habit of doing so, but
we want you to understand fully
why your paper is discontinued if
you fail to pay in the given time.

LACKING any grounds for real
criticism, the Boston Herald says
that "Senator Jeff Davis of Arkan-

Herald could thaw out a little it
would find him bit instructive,
too. Amusing, yes, because he did
not hold down a seat in the senate
two or three years before speaking
