Rev. S. 6. Baker - Editor


editor is compelled to announce to
the readers of this column that this
is likely to be the last issue of THE
News in which will appear our
items. Many persons subscribed
for THE News last year for three or
six months. Long since have their
subscriptions expired, and though
they have been repeatedly notified
through mail and otherwise, they
pay no attention to it. This ought
not to be 50. When the editor Of
THE News so kindly consented to
publish Our matter each week, it
was with the understanding that
we would patronizc it by paying
Our Sub scriptions at least. BY
paying for three or six months one
cannot expect to get the paper a
year for it. Surely we will not be
SO ungrateful as not to pay for THE
: News when we owe for it. We
have been assured that our items
will positively be deniad publica-
ton any longer if we fail to do our
part. If you don't care to pay the
editor of this department, see the
business manager and pay your
subscription. You will by so do
ing aid in keeping this door Of COM
munication open to us. Through
this medium the reading world
knows about US, The bright side
of Our lives is put upon exhibition
We are shown to have some law
abiding citizens among US who APP
preciatc kindness shown us along
all lines of cndeavor When the
list Of bona hdc subscribers is gone
over, it is found that there are less
than fifteen in this department that
are square Let us pay up, and
keep the good work going.
