sgTO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

We part company this week with sew
eral hundred old subscribers. There is
something like two thousand dollars due
US in delinquent subscriptions. We
cannot run on such a credit basis. Our
ieniency has been abused by some, over
looked by others and taken with indif-
ference by more. AS the weeks go by
we shall continue to weed out those who
fall behind. Paper, material and labor
are costing as much or more than we
take in in this indulgent way, and from
now on those that wish our paper will
be expected to pay for it in advance,
or at least before the year gets very
old. We regret exceedingly to part
with any of our readers, but those we
drop off do not seem to appreciate long
continued kindness.
