When a man wants to stop his sub
scription to a newspaper, it is far
more honorable to pay the paper
what he owes than it is to have the
postmaster send a card that the pa
Der is refused.
You are right, brother. The man
that will read his county paper, say
from one to five years, and when he
is pressed a little to settle his &C.
count he either refuses the paper at
he postoffice or writes the editor q
.corching letter saying that he neve,
subscribed and to discontinue the
paper. We are comforted by be-
lieving there are only few men Of
this class. What must be done with
them?
