FRIDAY, NOV. 23. 1855.
TO our Patrons.


YrAn of the Chronicle under the present Firm,
and on the Advance system, will close. No.
6I2. (Jan. l, 1867 will make up the Year
for which large number have paid.
We give This 7THELY NOTICE, that all
who choose to continue to favor us with their
custom may have ample time TO prepare to
prepay for another year, half year, or longer,
as they may see proper. - In accordance
with our present manner Of doing business,
all with whom we have no other account, or
who do not signify their intention TO pay at an
early day, and desire little tme-will be
discontinued from our books, with our best
wishes for their prosperity.
We are aware that, in some instances, by
this rule we lose honest, sponsible patrons;
but there must be uniform system, and unless
we have some reliable proof Of the desire TO
continue, We shall take it that our paper is no
longer wanted. In six weeks, any one can
secure 81 or s. and forward to US, either in
town when he calls, or sends, or by the mail
where he receives his paper. Articles for
household or merchan,able use, generally as
acceptable as Cash.
GLOW does the Advance Plan work =
1t may be asked, by brother Typos, and by
readers generally. We say, emphaucally,
WELL. 1t is cheaper to honest patrons, for
they get their paper at a less cost, are not
dunned, and at the end of the year are not in
debt TO the Printer. II is better for dish0nest
"patrons," for they have to 60 to work and
do Justly, and that harms nobody. Ills better
for the Printers, fer they get more money,
have il in time, are less harassed by creditors,
and save paper, ink, labor, and wear and tear
of type and other materials. And iorty-nine
out Of every fifty of our patrons say, ~ Ir Is
Just THE RIGHT THING
The City printers have almost entirely
adopted the Advance system, and the best and
most Aourishing Country papers are following
in their wake. We can therefore earnestly
recommend it to all, as mutually advantageous.
II is true, this change will require some res
plution-some sacrifice. We struck off TWO
HUNDRED names from our list, in default of
advance payment; and yet we have realized
more money Than during any previous year.
Some OF them-ihe best, we doubt not-have
aeHgesWpeh HeW eaHiRt up The S! :. sc9res ana opened
and not renewed. Some of those still in ar
rears, have sent their cash to the City for news
and other journals, as we happen To know;
others - lengtle,." aud grace Of they do not IN
riok) the subscription books Of our tlouriShins
contemporaries. From others, we have no re-
turns And yet, the saving Of paper ink, &c,
and the actual Cash in hand, far exceed the
honor as well as the protf, Of sending to men
who do not pay their paper debts once year,
If ever.
THE FUTURE.
Notwithstanding the erasing from our list
Of over 200 names, we have still kept hand
somely in advance Of all our county compel
itors; and the quafty Of our list commends
itself to shrewd business men everywhere as
THE v.ur Hrsr MEDIUM Foa ADVERTISING of
Real Estate, Merchandise. &c, as those who
pay in advance, are invariably the best busin-
ess men. and the men who advertisers delight
to deal with.
Heretofore, also, cur patronage has been
somewhat circumscribed by cur advocacy of
certain Local Quesfions, which aienated large
numbers of citizens, who would otherwise
have been our patrons. Those issues being
as we heartily trust-now fully decided, The
future will we hope give us more opportunity
for advancing OUR own "cAUsE.' While We
have no apology to make for our successive
defences of Railroads, Division and Lewisburg,
1t is true that in none were we promoting cur
indiridIal interest. Hereafter, wc shall pay
more attention to that branch Of progress and
improvement-our own pecuniary advantage
by seeking an extension Of the patronage Of
our establishment. We ask (and certainly it
is not unreasonable) those for whose interests
We have so long and arduously labored, now
to aid in rur "good cause
With the County Seat at Lewisburs-For-
eign News by Telegraph when the PhiladeTa
papers faiI-and all County News given as
fast as they transpire, there are hundreds
who will desire this print, who have not, here
iofore. The continued high price Of paper,
and of everything printers use and eat,forbids
any reduction in our Terms and if change
does not occur Printing rates must eventually
be raised. For the present, we shall continue
our existing rates. But, to enable large
