We have the following liabilities:
| George W. Gary, for printing | $819 00 |
| L. Lewis, for stereotyping | 259 00 |
| W. S. Simons, for binding | 44 27 |
| ————— | |
| Total liabilities | $1,122 27 |
To liquidate this amount we have the following available assets:
| Donation promised 4th of November | $500 00 |
| Due from advertisers | 203 00 |
| Due from agents | 282 00 |
| Due from booksellers | 83 00 |
| Renewal fees now due | 180 00 |
| ————— | |
| Total | $1,248 00 |
We have abandoned stereotyping for the present, and so reduced our expenses for printing that $250 per month will hereafter cover the coat of getting out our Papers. With our present list of subscribers we can make our monthly receipts for the coming year more than meet all of our expenses. There will be due us on the 1st of January from annual members and subscribers $4,500, and we hope to largely increase our list during the coming year. But our friends must stand by and help us, in order that our hopes may be realized.
