To Our Patrons,
The year is fast approaching
ks end, and as we take a retro
spective glance of eleven months
that have, been rolled up on the
reel of time we hope and believe
we have done our duty. We
think we have given you a good
readable, wide-awake paper, at
least wc have tried to do so, and
and tho long list of subscribers
upon our book is a sufficient
gunrentee that our efforts have
been appreciated. Some of
those subscribers owe us small
sums for subscription, while
equally as many owe us for ad;
vortising, job work, etc.—
Through the summer we have
not annoyed them with duns
because wc did not feel pressed
for the money, neither do we
stand particularly in need of it
now, but this is generally the
time when a year’s business
should be settled up, and we
want what is ours. Our office
expenses arc cash down, or no
go, so is our ink, paper and
other printing material, all of
which have been paid that you
might liavo your paper, work,
etc., and now wc want our mon
ey back. Those who find a red
cross on the margin of their pa
per will know they arc due us
something, and tlioy are invited
and earnestly requested ‘to waltz
to the music’ and soltlo the bill.
Those who do*so will receiv
receipt with our thanks, and a
promise to extend fair treat-
’mont in future with becoming
accommodations.
