The deceased has been in a state of poor health the greater, part of thetime since her husband died, but nothing Serious was anticipated until a little over a week ago, when she complained of a severe attack of the heart and was com- pelled to take her bed. Her case soon presented aserious aspect and the imme- diate friends saw there was no hope for her recovery, and she gradually grew worse until the vital spark of life tool; its departure: Mrs. Folland was of a gentle, amiable and kindly disposition, a good wife and faithful mother and a true friend. A family of one son and one daughter survive her, who have the sympathy of the community in this their irretrievable loss.

During the past week we have been sending out accounts to persons indeb- ted for subscriptions and will continue doing so until all owing us have been notided of their arrearages. We hope tbat every one to whom an account is sent will comply with the request there- on and at once forward the amount to this office. The amount in each instance is not at all large in itself, but when it is considered that it is oue of several hundred such accounts, it is plain to be seen when taken collectively that the amount of money due us is largo. The expense of running a paper is no small item weekly and in order to do it we must have money. For this reason we want every honest subscriber who is indebted to us to send in their arrear - ages and no matter how small the amount it will be thankfully received and properly applied. Now, don't let us have to be continually harping at you to pay an honest debt; we want money and if van are honest you want to pay your debts Do unto others, therefore, as you would he done by.
