enough for any one to take a paper without ming
for it.
These-bills will be made out to the fiist of

will be paid in them ~11.1 every ease where there
is no notice taken of them, we skill strike the mine
from our Goa!, and -take immediate steps to see
whether we are }o have anything for our labor or
not. Such a course becomes imperatively neces

to run for years without settlement ; think+ tie is a
benefit to a newspaper, he is under a great mistake
—his patronage is a burden, and the quicker it is
dispensed with the better.
If payment is made by the tat of January, we
will deduct fiotn the bill 4 50 cents a year, or If
obliged to collect we shall hovellie whole amount.
We shall do this wi:h reluctance, 6nt under a sense

If any one offended by our asking for remunera
