A new ruling by tbo Postoffice de partment makes it necessary for us to Insist that all subscribers who are ono year, or more, In arrears must pay their arrearage. The postoffice ruling requires that when a subscriber Is over one year In arrears that a one cent postage stamp will have to be put on every paper sent through the mall to such delinquent subscriber. We are simply compolled to collect all arrear ages over one year or not mail the pa per to delinquents. JuBt why the post- office department should object so strenuously against a publisher extend Ing credit to a subscriber over one year we cannot Bay, but such Is the ruling and It must be obeyed. A few weeks will be allowed publishers to collect ar rearages, and we hope that all our sub scribers who are more than one year in arrears will make prompt payment. Liber Loses Liberty.

Desireable situ, cheap fuel, rail road facilities, good water and other in ducements for large manufacturing plants was very at'ractive to the gen tleman, and only tbe lack of sufficient raw material to keep tbs plant In opera tion ten years was the reason we did not get it.
