Steam Mills.

A Grist Mill at our MaTk.t Town aud County

Advance Pay.

The la-e Editorial Convention, at Madison, after
mature elaboration and Tree interchange of sen
timent. unanimously adopted : resolution recon-
mending the advance pay system for newspaper
subscription. AZ many of the members Of that
Convention have had much experience in publish
ing new spapers. botl on tie credit and advance
pay systems. we have considered their recomnen-
dations worthy Of sufficient consideration to in
duce US to SIT down and count the cost of change
in accordance with tie spirit OF the resolution
upon this subject On loosing over our subscrip
ton book, we find that not more than two thilds
Of our subscribers can be considered those Of the
paging class. Hence we ind that with sub
scription LIST Of bat two thirds our present num-
Der, and all paying subscribers, we should make
saving Of not less than 500 a year, as that is
about The amount we pay for the paper and ink
for those who pay IS nothing in return. After
mature elaboration we have come 10 the coRclu-
sion to put down the terms of the Tribune 10 one
doUar gear TO all Office and mail subscribers,
AID hereafter no subscription viii be received
without tie poy ia adrutce We shall continue
ending Inc Tribune 10 our present subscribers as
heretofore until the lst Of March next after
which no paper vii be sene that is not paid for;
in The meantime We shall forward 10 each one the
smoaut Of his bin up to that date, hoping that
all VIII send tie amount due, and such of them
as choose 10 continue the Paper, dollar for the
coming year. The low rate of one dollar year,
places the Tribune within the reach of every one,
and We rely upon tie efforts of our friends for a
subscription list. that will stimulate us to renew
our Efforts to render the Wisconsin Tribune one of
tie most valuable family paper in the West. We
viii do our best, il our prtous give US proper en-
couragements, bat sge have no heart TO work for
the public without pay
In making this change, we feel constrained to
tender our thanks 10 those Who have sustained US
with their patronage, (money we mean) and trust
they will consider our exertions 10 please, worthy
Of a continuation OF the same, if not a renewed
effort 70 induce others to become subscribers
Hereafter no one will have to pay his money to
help to make upthe delinquencies of others.
We shall continue to receive all kinds of pro
dUce as heretofore, At the market prices.
