Our subscribers have been pay
ing subscription accounts quite
literally of late. There are still some
who are in arrears, however, and we
would be pleased to have them pay
up. The hundreds of small accounts
constitute a very important matter
for us, as all will readily understand
who give it a moments thought. Re-
NIT by draft, check, money order, or
currency. 1t makes no difference to
us. Every subscriber RENTING
through the mails will receive a re-
ceipt upon our regular form, stating
the date from and to which the re-
mittance pays his account. All sub
scribers who pay at the office are also
requested to take a receipt for the

From RS. Jepson, of Erwin, we
learn that a petition asking for a vote
on the license question is being
circulated at Erwin. Bryant parties,
it is said, are interested in the out
come and expect to ask for a permit
if the town should vote in favor of
license. The license gu stion comes
up at Erwin about as regularly as it
does in De Smet. At the former
place, however it is always a hard
matter to secure the requisite twenty
five signatures of resident free-holders
voters. The voting population of
the town is so constituted that if the
petition was once signed by the
proper persons and filed there would
be no question about the vote being
favorable to license. But the no
license freeholder voters hold the
balance of power by refusing to sign
the petition.

hard to bear. 1t is indeed a sad case.
