This should make it easy for those who desire to do so to pay their subscriptions to this newspaper. We do not desire to lose a subscriber, but rather to gain all we can. A consider able number of subscriptions expire this fall and we would be glad to have all subscribers look carefully at the labels on their papers and renew before the time is out, for our rule of cash-in-advance is being rigidly adhered to as is ^ » our custom. It is a poor man who cannot afford $1.50 for a year’s subscription to his county newspaper, and we are glad to know there are but few of these in the county— there would be fewer if those who are subscribers would try to induce their neighbors to become subscribers. Will you not do this, Mr. Subscriber? Remember that during the remainder of this month only a renewal subscription and a new one together will secure the dollar rate, or three new subscribers at the same time.’ Send in your subscriptions please, at once. .
