Subscription Laws

For the benefit of few persons
who seem to be ignorant of the
subscription laws, as decided by
the United States Supreme Court,
we publish them:
Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary are
considered as wishing to renew
their subscription.
2. If subscribers order the dis
continuance of their periodical, the
publisher may continue to send
same until all arrearages are paid.
8. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodical from the
postoffice to which they are direct
ed, they are responsible until they
have settled their bills and order
ed them discontinued.
4 If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to
the former address, they are held
responsible.
5. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from
the office or removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima fade
evidence of intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at
the end of the time if they do not
wish to continue taking it; other
wise the publisher is authorized to
send it. and the subscriber will be
responsible until an express notice,
with payment of all arrearages, is
sent to the publisher.
The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can ar
rest anyone for fraud who takes a
paper and refuses to pay for it.
Under the law the man who allows
his subscription to run along for
some time unpaid and then orders
it discontinued, or orders the post
master to mark it refused" and
have a postal card sent notifying
the publisher, leaves himself liable
TO arrest and fine, the same as for
theft.

OBITUARY,

Spring Creek, Va, Nov: 90, ,o9-
In loving remembrance OF Miss
Nina Bell Rexrode, who died at
her home near Monterey, Nov. ~,
1908.
! Possessing in an unusual degree,
those rare qualities of head and
heart, that form and ideal charac-
ter, so gentle, modest and unas-
sun,ing, the very atmosphere IN
which she moved, seemed to radl-
ate a helpful, inspiring influence
upon those who were fortu-
nate enough to come in contact
with her.
Never speaking unkindly of any
one, she seemed to be utterly inca
pable of the animosities that 81 Of
ten predominant the hearts of peo-
pie these days. The writer of
these lines, whose pathway
through life has more often
lain amid earths shadows, than
sunshine, has so often been cheered
and soothed bv her gentle and low
ing presence in our home.
Having spent the last FIVE years
of her life almost entirely among
those who were strangers, al
whom she came in contact with in
stantly recognized her genuine
worth; and many warn friendships
were formed and retained until her
death.
One year ago today, after long
weeks of pain and suffering, she
passed into the presence of Him
who's virtues and examples she so
fttingly exemplifed in her earthly
life.
Her precious form lies in it's last
long sleep, upon sunny slope in
one of the many beautiful blue
grass valleys of Highland, far re-
moved from the larger portion of
those who knew, loved and appre-
ciated her almost as much as did
her own family circle, Tin which she
was idolized,) but none the less
will her memory be fondly cherish
ed as the years come and go, until
we, too, have passed beyond the
reach of all earthly pain and sor-
row where we hope to meet her,
some sweet day.
One who loved her.
