Care in Prepaying Postage

By Editor

Brethren will please be careful when writing to this Office, to prepay their letters in full, as otherwise, under the new postage law, their payments are counted as nothing, and we have full rates to pay at the P. O. here. Thus, if only three cents are paid on a double-rate letter which requires six, the three cents are not taken into the account, and we have the six cents to pay here. Instances of this kind are becoming of frequent occurrence, and should they be continued, would in time amount to quite a serious tax upon us. Presuming that this all arises from a little want of attention to the weight of the letters on the part of the writers, we give this word of explanation and caution.
