extremely generous and lenient as
regards its subscribers in the past,

continue that leniency, but the law

refused the mailing privilege at the
Berryville Postoffice.

promptly. If it is not promptly
settled (if you are in arrears at

of $3.50 q year, or S1.OO year if
paid in advance, will be enforced
for all subscribers, irrespective of
color, creed or condition.
Ninth. When we say IN AID
VANCE, we mean within thirty
days after the subscription expires;
and if it is not paid within thirty
days, then the price will be $3.50
to everybody.
Tenth. We didn't make the
new law. We are forced to accept
and enforce it, however. If there
