To Our DeliDQusDts

1t is with much regret that we have to
keep dunning you, but it is not our fault;
the new postoffice law compels us to stop
all papers that are not paid up after
April lst. As the time is very short we
would ask you to comply promptly. We
must say that we were agreeably surprised
at the promptness Of the majority of our
subscribers in remittiDg, when We take
into consideration the money stringency.
Strange, but true, we have had only one
gentleman to send his paper back marked
refused" after receiving the paper for
several years. Perhaps he will use the
money to buy ice to cool his conscience
(if be has any next summer for cheating
the poor printers
Remember the old adage, "Don't put
off tomorrow what you can do to-day"
and send US in your dues.
