To Our Hubscrlbcrs, Wo again make a most earnest ap. peal to our delinquent subscribers. We arc greatly in need of money. Indeed, it is impossible to furnish you with a readable and acceptable paper without necessary means. The Post Office denies us the right of sending out our accounts except under the full postage rate, and as this is alto gotlic* too expensive a mode, we trust and earnestly request that all those who are in arrears with this of fice will at once call and settle. If iron can’t pay all, pay part. If you avc no money, bring us eggs, chick- sns, butter, beef, lamb, mutton, or rsything in the provision line which will help us out these hard times. We :iope we shall not havd to make an other appeal to our subscribers, but hat this will serve to nerve all to compassion for the printer, who feels nore than all others the hard times. iVhere there arc no Money Order iffices funds can be sent by registered etter at our expense and risk. Personal. we acknowledge a pleasant call from Mr. J. W. Alexander, one of the leading planters of Punks county. Also from Mr. G. L. Rice, of Fort Lamar, Madison county, who is one of the best fanners in the country. We were delighted on yesterday, with a visit from out* ancient friend, Mr. J. W. Burke, of Macon. As he has purchased the book store of bis brother T. A. Burke, we hope to see him more frequently in our city. Having sold liisinterest in his Atlanta beok store, his first love leads h’m bock to dear old Athens where he is fully appreciated and always cordially welcomed. SOUTHERN BANNER: JUNE 11, 1878.

It may be well jUart here to state that Mr Menard’s watch keeps college time, and that it is considered quite the thing for the girls to ask him what time it is.
