A PERSONAL APPEAL. I have been connected with The Herald and News as editor for more than seventeen years. When it was bought from Mr. A. C. Jones on March 7, 1887, by Aull & Hou seal, the subscription list was about six hundred. It ran up v 1 ,200 and when it was changed to twice a week the list began to increase until now it takes more than i86o papers to fill our mailing list. We have tried to keep it in the van of pro gress, and we have labored, hard for the advancement of the best in terests of this county and town. Those things that we conceived for ttie best interests ol the whole peo ple-for their material and moral uplifting-we have advocated re gardless of the consequences to our selves. Many times we have led the agitation for public utilities which at the beginning had few ad vocates, but by persistence we have accomplished results. For the past four years on account of absence from the business little or no effort has been made to collect what is due us. I ani compelled to raise $1500 by the first of Dec. I find that ioo subscribers owe the paper from one year up to several, the average being about $5.oo. It is a small matter to each one of you, but you can readily see what it means to me. A great many have responded to the statements which we sent out, but a great many more have not. You have been kind to us iin many respects, and this appeal is made to you for the purpose of get ting the money and putting the paper in position to serve you better in the future than it has in the past. I do not want you to send th money thi: --eek, but on the 16tli of this month which is next Mon. day, I hope that every subscribei who is in arrears %Vill make it v part of his duty on that day to sendI us at least $1 50 and as munch mnore as you can if you owe it. This re. quest is made in real earnest, and ] trust that there is not one sun scriber who will fail to comply, i he be in arrears. Will you respond There are those who live beyonc the borders of the county to whon the paper has gone regularly foi many years as a welcome messag( from t' eir old home reminding them of the scenes of other days. Many of these have not paid us foi several years. This appeal is mnean for you as well as for others. Surely there is no one so poor that he can not pay one year's subscription If he is, and will v'rite us, we wil charge up what he owes to profli and loss and send him a receipt But we know there is none such We are not in the habit of con. stantly seniding statements nor oi publishinig reminders, but at thh time we need the money and have nio way of getting it except fron those who owe us amid for whom we have worked. Remember the day and remember that we are very much in earnest in this appeal tc you. Von know whether you owec us or not, and if there is any mis take in your credit we will gladly correct it. Anmy (late after the 16th iul to the 1st wvill answer, but I should be glad to have it all come. in a lump sum. Please do niot disappoint mle and I will continue to give von my best service.
