Recently we have had to remove
from our mailing list number Of
names, these being expired subscrip-
tions. We gave the parties plenty of
time to renew, and as they did not
respond, we could only conclude that
they did not care for the paper any
longer. We dislike to lose a single
subscriber, but we cannot and do not
send the paper on credit. Watch
your date and renew when your time
is out if you want the paper to keep
coming.
