PAY-sN-ADvANCE BUSINESS

The enormous and still increasing price of print
ing materials, together with the fact that probably
one-tourth of the subscribers to every country
paper, don't think themselves under Gerry many OBJ
legations to pay their printers bills promptly, have
already convinced us that publishing newspaper
at 81 80 per year, on credit, is u very thankcss
and Improbable undertaking. We are therefore
compelled 10 adopt some means to save ourselves
from the loss We have heretofore incurred from
subscribers who dOn't p0y-cither To increase our
price, thus making paying men help bear our loss
by denquents or to send paper only to those
who pay strictly in advance Accordingly. as an
act of Justice 10 those who have always paid Ills
promptly, Tc have adopted the latter course, and
the close of Volume will close our connection
with publishing newspaper, on trust"
Volume NJ of the JOURNAL will commence on
the 9th day of May next, ct which time we shall
coliTeGce doing strictly rAY-IN-ApSANcE bust
ness. Aiter shat une, no Rsner viii be sent from
this plan VIC shall be compelled, after the 9th day
of May next, to DISCONTINUE THE PAPER To ALL
WHO HAVE NOT pArD N ADVANCE We shall, per-
haps, be compelled for a time To part company
with some subscrib 'rs in whose ability and nten-
ton to pay We have to utmost contidence-but if
We DO not strictly cniory the system, il will be no

Some of our subscribers may think this depart
urc from "aneiGnt usage" hardly Nir---but what
would they think of the farmer who commenced
his seasons work next spring, paying cash for his
implements and labor, and letting thousand diff
ferent persons have one or two dollars worth of
his harvest, oa unlimited credit Or of the me-
chauc. who employed workmen and sent them
throughout the county, to work one day in a place
for any one who wished, and never making any
requirement about the time of payment Or Of
the merchant, who paid cash for his goods, and
then sold them to any one who called in amounts
trnT, FGe dollar upward, aud telling those who did
not offer 10 pay cash, "its all Esht-tske youv
own time for payment" Would they not say that
every such man would almost certainly fail In
business, and even il he did manage to Give
along, he GeserrCd failure
Such are the views which have induced MS 10
adopt the adeaaee system. We ask for them
c~iSld consideration at the hands of our patrons
and feel oonndent that ali who eyer Intended to pay
their printers bin Will agree with us In their cor.
recness, and in the necessity Of our adopting this
course.
We shall continue, as heretofore. to receive all
kinds of farm produce subscription at the high
esi market rates but il must be deli SOred oariaNy

All at our present subscribers who wish 20 con-
unue taking the Journal after the close of the
preSeut volume, have ample time 20 send US by
mail or otherwise, the amount they wish 70 pay,
before the 9th Of May next.
We shall continue our endeavors to publish
paper well worth the subscription price 10 every
resident OF Wood County. The iLqogseI,ent which
We have already raceived from patrons Is truly
gratifying, and while we are compelled, in self.
dcfclse, 60 change The terms Of payment, we trust
that Que present patrons will renew their favors.
