TO TIIR FKIEXDS OF TIIE GAZETTE. Wo appeal to all who owe us fur »üb acrlption to the Gazette to come for ward an and settle. We Have gone through the iumnier without calling up*h ofiS readers for money. We now need funds, as we jtay cash for everything we use In publishing the puper. and our expense* are very heavy. Wo hope that idl will come forward ami jiay the very small amount we charge for the Oazkktk. Any one can cer tainly pay the small sum of two dollars a year. This is a very little money, lit when live hundred owe us two dollars apiece, it amounts to one thou sand dollars. , If all our readers will come forward promptly and settle, we can get along without any trouble, and will give them, in return, the best paper ever published in the comity. We are drawing off every man's account, and will have every one rendy when ealled for, so as to stive time and trouble. These accounts will lie drawn off to 1870, and all who have not settled up to 1870 are, or soon will lie, in arrears, and they had better pay up and let u s all got on comfortably together.
