This notification is in the shape of a label or slip attached to the top of page e 2, over the first column. On ^ the first of each month heffcafter r the lists will be gone over care* J a l n a t* % , iuuy ana, in tne nrsL issue ioiv lowing1, these notification labels will be attached to the papers of r all whose subscriptions fall due e during that particular month. It is hoped that all subscribers who ' from time to time fall in arrears j to the extent of a year will settle t before or on the date on the label. It is not our desire to cut anyone oT the list, but law -is law and we are forced to comply with it. h ? PERSONAL MENTION h Mr. E. E.
