Ia ordering rear paper changed from one
post office to another, always name both
offices. Very often we know tbV post office
at which a suoscrioer has been receiving the
paper, but sometimes we do not ; and when
a request to change is dated and mailed at
the new office and the former address isiaorj
named, it requires same guessing and search
ing through the mail list io order to find the
name-it being necessary to take it off the
former list as well as oot it on the new.
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.
Bills have been sent to some ot the parties
referred to, and those who responded prompt
ly are hereby thanked. There are some oth
ers that we are waiting oa and hoping to
thank Terv soon.
