After waiting, and waiting for
a large number of our subscribers
to pay up the arrears on The New
Era we have at Last placed a big
list with a Collecting Agency,
whose business it is to collect all
these accounts, and no doubt, in
a few days those who are behind
will hearn from them. We have
listed all the subscriptions at
$1.50 per year, which is our rate
when not paid in advance. We
are sorry to have to take this
step, but when the money will
run into figures close on to $500
it means a whole lot to the Edi-
tor. Three weeks ago we placed
little notices all through the
paper, but they did not bring any
returns, so we put' one below to
recall your attention. There are
a large number of subscribers in
Clinton that are in arrears and we
would like them to call and settle
as soon as possible.
