With the high price of living and
the increased cost of everything that
enters into the making of newspaper
it is now almost impossible to profitably
publish newspaper at Sl.00 per year.
To do so it is absolutely necessary that
every person who takes paper should
pay promptly, thus saving the publishers
the cost of sending out bills and using
other means to collect the $l00 sub
scription. After the first day of Janu-
airy next it is the intention of the MES
sENGER to remove the names from its
list of all persons who owe more than
$l.00. In the meantime, all persons
who owe us for subscription to this
paper are requested to settle the same
at once.
Snow Hill merchants are making
an excellent showing in our advertising
columns this week. They are anticipa-
ting a large holiday trade and have
commenced to advertise in time to ac-
quaint the purchasing public that it is
not necessary to patronize catalogue
houses to get up-to-date, stylish goods.
You can see them right in Snow Hill and
you will know that you are getting
what you pay for and run no risk Of
having your purchases lost in transit.
Patronize the home merchant when
you can. When you need credit you
call on him. Therefore, when you have
the money deal with him. Watch the
advertisements in the MESSENGER and
deal with the live merchants who solicit
your trade.
