A number of subscribers to the Weekly
Journal, who are falling behind their time,
will receive their accounts this week, and
others next week. We hope they will settle
up arrears AMI make advance payments i'm
mediately.
A word now to those who are not subscri-
bers. Hereafter we shall give patrons
clearly printed paper, which circumstances
have prevented us from doing at all times
We intend using every effort to make an ex-
ceIlent paper in every particular, to give more
general miscellany than formerly, more
news, markets, &c.-in fact TO make the
Journal second to no other paper in Indiana
in all the attributes of good newspaper
Heretofore the Daily Journal has of necessity
commanded our principal attention, making
!. the Weekly secondary object. But here
after, the Weekly shall command all the at,
tention necessary for elevating it to the head
of Indiana papers. We hope the attentlc
of farmers and business men will be turned
to it more generally than heretofore. The
Journal is now the only paper published in
Evansville except a German sheet. Other:
have been springing up and dying around i
like weeds, for the last eighteen years
Their publishers have wilfully or else through
necessity, feeced portion of the public which
pa.ronized them by advance payments, unit
their confidence may no longer be obtaine
by these newspaper adventures. We hop
those subscribers to defunct Evansville pa
pers, will now turn to the Journal. As W
hare kept this paper ahead of all past compe
tlion, so we intend nothing in the futur
shall pass it.
Wake up then, friends, and assist us il
procuring subscribers. We have plenty Q
room on our books.
