The attention of subscribers of this paper is requited to the dates following their address on paper. The date indicates' the time to which sabsription is paid to. Some times errors occur ia changing dates or in fail ore io bange, in which case by calling at tention thereto yoor date will be made right Bot there are some dates that hare nos been changed for a considerable time and which need changing-the printer abo needs the change necessary to make the change of date.
