The Journal’s subscribers have
been paying up in a most satis
factory manner since crops have
begun to move. We have always
boasted that the Journal had the
best paying list of subscribers of
any paper in the state and we are
glad to be able to say they are
again making good on this record
this fall. When the people make
good crops and have money we
never worry about getting ours.
However, because of the short
crops, a good many failed to pay
last fall and we have carried them
over patiently, so this fall we hope
every subscriber on our books will
pay up as soon as possible, and
let’s have all the old score settled
up clean and begin anew by or
before the first of the year. We
are mailing statements to all, in
order that they may know how
they stand on our books, and we
hope all who owe us will respond
promptly.
