A Gaelic writer of the seventeenth

a proof that the district councils, un

changing the English names of roads
and streets into their Irish equivalents.

CONCERNING THE HOP MARKET
September Price in London Were
rery Jfneh Below the Value
of Good Samples.
The National Association of English
Hup Growers, of Londcon, has Issued
a circular which is as follows:
"Central Cllce, 1 Hop Exchange,
Borough, London. Sept. : 11, 1899. The
council last year issued a circular to
growers, in which certain advice was
tendered that rioved very beneficial
to pHlers at Worcester fair and subse
quently. "At a large and repreaier.tative meet
ing of the council held here today,
the general, questions of the ckap and

it was found that (hope had thus far

TWICE-A-WEEK
Beginning with the first week in January, 1900,
the Weekly Statesman will be issued in two sec
tions, of eight pages each, and the price will be
reduced to $1 a year. I
The present Weekly is twelve pages, issued once
a week, and the price is $1.50. So, beginning
with the new year, subscribers will get four extra
pages, .with the news more nearly as it hapoens,
and they will also get the paprr at a reduced
price.
But the subscription price of the Twice-a-week
Statesman will be absolutely in advance. No
copy will be sent for any length of time without
the money in advance, and every subscription will
stop promptly at the time of expiration.
The reason we make this announcement thus
early, is that we will close up absolutely the pres
ent subscription lists of the Weekly beginning
with the first of the year, abd any subscriber who
at that time has not paid up his subscription in
advance , will cease thereafter to receive the pa
per. We do not require that every subscriber
at that time shall have paid up all of his arrear
ages. But he must have paid his subscription in
advance to the Twice-a-week Statesman, or it
will not be sent- to him. All unpaid accounts on
the present list will at that date become ledger
accounts. That Js, you can become a sub
scriber to the Twice-a-week paper without paying
up your arrearages, by making a payment in ad
vance. We wil expect all who are" able, how
ever, to pay up their back sublcriptions by Jan
uary 1st. Subscriptions paid in advance after
January 1st will be advanced at the new rate of
a dollar a year, commencing at that date.
We are only enabled to make this improvement
and reduction in price on account of a new print
ing press that will be installed shortly before that
date. V
Please attend to both your arrearages and ad
vance subscriptions, if possible, before that date,
so that the work will not all come at once.
