There is no class of advertisers so exacting as administrators of estates and, as a general rule, a newspaper is fortunate that gets pay for one out of every ten notices that it publishes in the course of a year. It takes from one to three years time to settle up an estate, and nine out of ten of them never realize enough to pay the administrator, and the newspaper goes without any pay. If the next legislature would remedy this matter to make all such advertising part of the costs to be paid in advance, it would relieve the newspapers of the disagreeable duty of having to exact it.
