O'Reilly, of Cornwall, made' the state
meet that' newspaper publishers Ila
a hard enough time in financing th
bus'
mess without being done out,o
their, subscriptions. If a person des
ires to stop a newspaper, the' proper
way is for him to pay all arrears and
get a receipt,' or, if he is paid,. refuse
to take the paper at the post office,:
Raid have a record' made of his refus-
al. A plats who owed Mt a taewspap-.:
er could not stop taking it laid. ax -
pact the publisher to go' Witlitint his
pay. It may be added that no , ubii-
slier wishes to force his paper on any-
one one
and any subscriber desiring to
discontinue his paper will not have the
slightest trouble if he. does so in an
htanest and businesslike way. ;Hun-
dreds of dollars are lost every year
to publishers by those, who' after a
subscription '

as expired for three: or
sic months, discontinue' the paper and
