A goodly number of the subseribere of THE ketro MR hive already renewed their subsorilptio is for the current - year. To all these we re durn our since e thanks. Those who have not yet done` so we would be, plealea to ave them do so as soon as poro! Bible. Th amount to each individual is small, bp when multiplied by many it amounts to a large sum. The price of paper and of pri ting material o all kinds has ad - vented ver materially during the past year, while the rice of subser ption has remain- ed the sa • e. This rend re It all the more necessary that subsorib rs pay promptly. There are ow papers tha have a better or more pro pt paying list f subscribers than THE EXPO ITOR has, and we have no doubt but that, under the e oeptional circum- stances w have menti ed, they will be even more prompt than u ual this year. There it e still a few ho have not yet paid for Ja t year, and th re are, a few more who etre fi r two or more years. To these we would e y, that in jus ice to those who have street y paid in ad awe, we shall be obliged to charge them t e credit price un- less promp 'settlement is made. All arrear subsoriptio s not paid on the _first of Feb- ruary next, will be charge at the advanced rate. We ive timely n tice, and if any subseriber'as to pay the ong price he must blame hims lf.
