The sending out of statements la rec- ognlaed by some as a proper business method, while more regard them a* more or less Insulting—n dun for small bum from one who lias been, for years perhaps, a aubscrlber. The jniptlng of date on the subsci iber's copy has the same eilcct, whim tho dis continuance of jl subscription by a . publisher amouata, with rare- excep tions, to the ciiHcellrttlon of all past duet and a long good bye.

The common opinion that the coun try editor works until he gets a paper out and it then until the next Monday a person of elegant leiaure, riding on free railroad passes or sitting In the easy chair eating the finest peaches *-and largest watermelons, is a wide mis take, lie has work enough in his of fice to occupy him nine hour* a day the year round and every day’s absence helpa to put him in the grass.
