The first issue was the 20th of last September and the list not paid up yet. It will be painful to us to discontinueany one’s paper but will be compelled to doso unless we get what is due us. All who subscribed before Christinas are earnestly requested to call and set¬ tle. Don’t wait for us to give you notice in tlie paper and then call on [ you in person.
