'l'he Publi11h.er has found it a very umpleasant d uty to publicly dun delinquent rnbscribers and customers during the past few week!!, itnd it has not been our custom h er · tofore to do more than drop a hint or two very occasionally about paying up, 011r readers may h ave thought our labe course indicated hard timeB with ·us, therefore as ~ we always like to take our readers into our confidence wo shall make a brief explanation. Early in 1885 we d ecided to Yisit our native land- Old England- from which we came thirty-th1·ee years ago. Last year we could not arrange matters satisfactorily to go, and early this year we began to plim our business with a view to going this month. Early in June when we thought we had everyt hing nicely shaped for our cherished trip, we received an intimation that we were to b e called upon to make f!,OOd ou r r esponsibility to a Nort h -west lan d company into whose clutches we wore incluced by all«g<' d fritmds to place ourself about five yean ago, clurin'i the great bd>om. W e had hoped that we should not be called upon for mori> payments, as we had offered to lose what we h ad paid, about $400, and give up all cl aims on tho land; but find in g that an expen5ivo law suit was about to be begun against us, we succeeded, only la.st week, in making a compromise which required the whole of our " F resh Air Fund " to satisfy. We have always made It a rule not to borro\v money for luxury or pleasure, but to deny ourself of both when we had not the money t.:> purch ase them. So in this case, tlwugh we had our ·arran gements completed for a trip to Ellrope, we determined not to go unless we could do Eo without b or r owing money - h en ce t he strong appeals mad e to our patrons the last two we(·ks. Thanks to the -prompt r espon se of those who luwe r emitted, our fresh air fuud h as b een sufficiently replenished t o enable us to proceed on our long journey. We feel sure that many others who have not lltmt us th e money they owe us would havo done so had they known the circmnstttnces which lead u s to make the appeal. A large amount of mon ey is required to rua our business du ring our absen ce, so we sh all he equally thankful if those wh o h ave not paid up will do so wi thin the n e:x:t week or two, and a receipt will be sent to all persons who do. Forward registered l etters or money orders as usual payable or addressed to M . A. J amos, Bowman ville. Before this m eets our readers' eyes, we expect to be " Casting up .Accounts " on the b~oad Atlantic, or enjoying "life on an ocean wave. " Now, for a few weeks , d ear r eaders, adieu.
