- Notice!
The patrons of The Timks-Keccrder
are urged to pay promptly the bills
whleh are now due for subscription, ad
vertising and job work for the past
month. A newspaper has to pay its
labor the cash weekly, aud on the firat
of the month It is necessary for all its
bills to be promptly collected.
The current expenses of Toe Times-
Recorder establishment tie about <50
per day, which must be paid every
Monday without fall or delay.
We arc therefore compelled to press
collections; and while the small bills
that some owe may cause them to re
gard the matter as insignificant, these
small accounts aggregate several thou
sand dollars, which we are compelled to
collect promptly to meet our obligations.
A newspaper can't run a week with
out money; so come up to the captain’s
office and settle.
