A Word in Season.
While we have pleasure in thanking those whose support bears a Jcertaui cash value, we would like to say a few words to those who, while being only too ready to avail themselves of the news collected
from all parts of the world, and disseminated through our columns, and also freely take np space with advertisements yet are not regular in their -payments. Subscribers to a paper should remember that every word and sentence that is set i • , .-.>7'i X. '.=,'!&' iiU ,'• up m type costs money. .That newspapers contribute more towards the revenue derivable from, the post and telegraph, and spend more in wages, than any other class, of industry, is now admitted on all sides, and persons who partake of the advantages provided -by the proprietors of newspapers should not object to pay for them. These remarks particularly apply -to - individualsYwho, apparently devoid of either honour or conscience, fail to . pay their newspaper subscription without contiguous dunning or the assistance of the Resident Magistrate's Court — alto to some advertisers who seem to think that by putting an advertisement in a paper thej are, "liberally supporting" it, and the necessity of paying for the space occupied is mprely a secondary consideration. .■ We confess to having suffered from- some »f ■ this class in the past. In the future we will be wiser, and believing "first loss to be the best," will proceed at oried against those persons who' with accounts long overdue send away our collector with some well-worn excuse. -When tradespeople or any person in business cannot pay the printer for giving 1 that publicity by advertising Which is so ; necessary to advance his trade or business,itisg^herally found that the 1 Bankruptcy &6ibt is being looked forward to to clear off liabilities, and we most "cut in", tojjet a share before "trustees" get tine lion's portion. A tradesman or private individual should endeavor to keep/ faith with his banker, and pay the printer. By such a line of conduct only can his career in life be successful and : Ids ; end happy.
