To Our Subscribers.
A recent ruling of the Post Offio*^ I.Department renders it imperative ^thar newspapers should clean up their delinqnent subscripdon listp. ,^hile the Journal carries as small riist of delinquents as any, yet in common with with all newspapers it has a few. A glance at the date line attached to your name at the top of the front page or on the wrap¬ per of this issue, will show just how you stand on our books. It would I cost us fifty dollars casli and an im¬ mense amount of hard work to send a statement to each subscriber. vV ill ou not please ascertain just how you stand and make remittance to this offipe for a'l amount sufficent to cover all delinquencies.
Wishing you one and  all a pros¬ perous New Year, we are,
Yours Ver3' Si dcerely,
