Richton Route No. 4 which is
really old Janet community in
Greene county, enjoys the distinc-
ton of the BEST showing on the Her.
aid books at this time so far as sub
scriptions being paid up is concern
ed. There is not single person on
that route whose expiration date
falls behind 1916 and most of them
reach over into 1917. This is good.
We hope some of the other post-offi-
ces OF the county will soon show as
veil. Let it be kept in mind, how
ever. that there is not post-office IN
the county but what shows sprinkr
ling of paid-ups in advance, at which
we rejoice and are exceedingly glad,
but its the draggy kind of payers
that we are hoping this article will
prove an inspiration to dress up and
catch step and help us out in pro-
ducing the Herald at 81 thistle most
trying time in its history when the
present price. of all material and
print-paper market situation is con
sidered
] Some statements are being sent
out to delinquent parties who have
probably either overlooked their
subscriptions expired or have been
temporarily unable to pay such up.
We are in hopes Of response from
these. In fact have had some re-
Spouse already and wait for more be-
fore proceeding to cut anyone off, as
dislike to do that but the pressure
upon as account the news print pa
! per situation is such than our mind
has been made up to expunge from
our maning-list all who give deaf
ear to this macedonian cry for help
I'm such time of urgent need.
Nothing in these remarks apply to
those who are prompt IN subserip-
tion settlements, nor to that small
gift list which the postal dept. al
lows every newspaper to main
| tain.
The supervisors meet next Mon
day September 4th. at which term
4 the leyies will be fixed for the en-
sueing fiscal year. OF course the
taxpayers hope that there will be no
increase IN the total of the levy,
while still its to be hoped that suffi-
cient calculation will be made ahead
to realize monies ample to carry for
ward all of the necessary matters in
the conduct OF county governments.
| Possibly such distribution of the
funds may be arranged as to keep
the levy within the previous bounds
and yet keep each fund up to the
level of actual needs, so that this
Temporary exhaustion and cross
borrowing may be avoi led. This is
up to the wisdom of The county
board as to them will accrue tie
criticism for any failures of the funds
to pan out that way.
In this issue we carry the an
nouncement of G. FL. Allen for SUI
pervisor in beat in the special cleo
ton to be held Sept. 22nd. Mr.. AL
len advises US that he will have a
card to Voters" in our next week S
issue. This definitely opens the
campaign down there. II there are
others thinking of entering that
race they will have to be decisive
and act QUICK because the law re-
lquires that petitions be filed a GER
tain number of days before the lec-
ton in order to get name on the
ticket and that time limit will be
reached before the hesitating can
count Jack Robinson if they don t
look out, as Stuck Thomas can testi-
lfy. as was his case year before
last.
