Preston Monitor Ceases Publication

With this issue of the Monitor we bid our friends and readers good-by. As announced in our last issue, the venture of publishing a paper here has not proved a success financially, and we are forced to stop. During the past year we have endeavored to serve you faithfully, and while intending to encroach on no one, we fearlessly had our say-we thought it was our put-in. To the many friends we have aided and encouraged us during the year of our existence, we return our sincere thanks, and regret that we cannot accept their offer of continued support. We have on our books a large number of small accounts for a year or part of a year’s subscription. Although these are small, yet in aggregate they amount to considerable, and we earnestly request prompt payment from all. To the few who have paid for the Monitor for time unexpired, we will refund the money for such unexpired time. To the neighboring press which has so generously accorded us words of praise, we are grateful, and trust that we have done nothing to cause unkind comment on our suspension.
