As will be noticed, our reading matter
on the inside is rather limited, owing to
the increase of the advertisements just at
this season. This is the only season that
we get many advertisements, and it would
not pay ns to enlarge the paper just for a
few weeks, so we hope onr readers will
undestand and appreciate our position.
-Remember that the printer may want a
little Christmas and that little amount you
owe will help him. We have waited very
patiently during the summer, but now you
have sold your crop please do not keep us
waiting longer. It has been hard for us to
keep the paper going during the dull days
of the past year, but it has not failed to
vieit vour home every week, now we ask
you kindly to come to our aid and pay up
your subscription in full. Some owe us
but little while others owe for a year or
more, We are not able to do a credit busi
ness as we have to pay cash for everything
we use, hence we need what you owe us,
and those who fail to pay up need not ex
pect the paper next year. We have done
our part. Will you do yours? We think
you will.

No Change Wanted.
If the Hon. Harry Skinner will
consult the wishes of the people, re
gardless of party affiliations, he will
find that the people do uot desire a
change made in the postoffice at
Plymouth; There is' no need to
make the change since the office is
in charge of a lady who expresses
no political views, and her entire
force has not given vent to any po
litical expressions during the days of
the past campaign. The office is
certainly not in any way political.
The people want a postoffice official
that is obliging, courteous and at
tentive. All this they now have and
hope to retain.
