THE BANNER.
Wednesday, Jan. l2, lsls.
20 Olsr Patrons,

As this is the commencement Of the year
we take this occasion to say that in future
we shall be compelled to adopt the cash sys-
tenn. The expenses of our Office are such,
and the cash payment made us so small, that
we are forced to this course. Already con-
siderable amounts are due us scattered over
the country at such intervals that it is very
inconvenientfor us to collect it without great
expense. And we have found also by sad
experience that by the credit system we
may toll on from one year to another and be
entirely forgotten by large portion of those
who are, or profess to be, our patrons. We
trust therefore that it will be borne in mind
by those subscribing, or ordering the Ban
ner, that our terms are cash and that we can
make no exceptions Each subscriber will
be notified when his subscription closes, and
we trust no one will be offended by such
notice, but continue their patronage. 1t is
certainly better that we send the Banner to
four hundred paying subscribers, than to
eight hundred, third of whom forget that
they owe for the paper.
Also all persons indebted 10 the Office are
earnestly requested to make payment, as
