To Our Subscribers

IT is a good thing to examine the

date on the wrapper of your paper now and then. It reveals the exact condition of your subscription account. In case it reads April, '16, or any date prior to this, your subscription should be renewed at once. This will save postage and unnecessary clerical work. The change of date on the wrapper the following month is the receipt for your subscription, unless otherwise requested. In renewing your own subscription, send us also the address of a friend or neighbor not now receiving the paper.

AN IMPORTANT NEW FEATURE!

Each issue is alone worth a yearly subscription. Clans Macdougall, Scott, Murray and Fraser have appeared. March, Clan MacDonald; April, Clan MacLeod, Clan Campbell; May, Clan Graham.
