Our friends arc getting up Clubs in most towns throughout

others keen a standing order to be supplied with a given 
quantity each week, or at stated periods. And in all cases 
(where a sufficient time has elapsed) Clubs have repeated 
their orders. 
Panics sending Club or other orders for less than thirty 
dollars, had better send Post-Ollice drafts, or money with 
their orders, to save the expense of collections by express ; 
but larger orders we will forward by express, to collect on
