The *old in hand would enable him to increase the size of his stock and sell more goods and thereby earn greater dividends on his investment. Hut wholesalers arid manufacturers require their money on the dot, and a hundred or a thousand small accounts due the merchant are not considered in the light of an asset by the laen from Whom he buys his goods. If "each of the men who owe these smr.1! accounts would take the trouble to think, they would rush in one great thl-OBfcio that store and pay up these small! 'tills and the merchant would then be in position to do even better by. them in tlie futrure.. But they for get to think, and their money remains in bank and they" continue to draw in terest" nr while the merchant pat/ iently waits for his due. And tills merchant is only one of the man/* Eyen this newspaper is not immune from the evils of forgetting to thipk. In fact, we incline to the belief that we are in even a more uneviable posi tion to this respect than any merchant in town. To speak candidly, we are proud of the names we have on our subscript ion list, for they represent the intelli gence and the intergrity of this whole community. But even men of the highest in telligence and the most rigid inte grity can forget to think. They ?r?* forgetting to'thing in our own case. If these same good and loyal citi zens could take, .one glance at ' oui1 books they would be appalled at the amount of money that is due us on subscription to this paper. They are small amounts individually, ranging from 60 cents to $2 or $3, marked up against men and women whose words erfe as good as their bonds. But' we can not pay our own bills with THe honor and the 4?tcrgrity of our subcribers. We put up the cash. Bight now we have a splendid op portunity to Invest some money in Pope's ItelB.
