PAY-IN-ADvANCE BUSINESS

The enormous and still increasing price of print
ing materials together with the fact that probably
one-foIrth OF the subscribers 10 every country
paper, don't think themselves under rery many OBJ
legations TO pay their printers bills promptly, have
already convinced us that publishing newspaper
at 81 80 per year, on credit, is very thankless
and Improbable undertaking. We are therefore
compelled to adopt some means to save ourselves
from the loss we have heretofore incurred from
subscribers who don't puy--either tn increase our
price, thus making paying men help bear our loss
by delinquents, or to send paper only to those
who pay strictly in advance. Accordingly. as an
act of justice 10 those who have always paid us
promptly, we have adopted the latter course, and
the close OF Volume Y will close our connection
with publishing newspaper, on trust"
Volume NJ Of the JOURNAL will commence on
the 9TH day Of May next, at which time we shall
commence doing strictly PAY-1N-ADvANCE busi-
this Office until paid for. 70 thoroughly carry out
this pan we shall be compelled, after the 9th day
Of May next, to DISCONTINUE THE PAPER TO ALL
VINO HAVE NOT PAID IN ADVANCE We shall, per-
haps, be compelled for time to part company
with some subscribers in whose ability and inten-
ton to pay we have the utmost conhdence-but il
we do not strictly enforce the system, it will be no
sytcm at all
The terms of subscription to the JOURNAL, after
the 9th of May next-cOmmencement of Volume
Xl--will be as follows-sTRICTLY IN ADVANCE:
One copy, one year. ..............,.....Sl Sc
One copy, four months ...''...'.......... 5C
Some of our subscribers may think this depart
urc from "ancent usage" hardly fair-but wha
would they think Of the farmer who commenced
his seasons work next spring, paying cash for his
implements and labor, and letting thousand diff
| tcrent persons have one two dollars worth o.
| his harvest, Unlimited credit Or of the me
| chanic who employed workmen, and sent then
| throughout the county, to work one day in place
| for any who wished, and never making an,
| requirement about the time Of payment Or o.
| the merchant who paid cash for his goods, anC
| then sold them to any who called, in amount,
| from one dollar upward, and telling those who die
not offer to pay cash, "Its all right-takc you
own time for payment" Would they not say tina
every such man would almost certainly fail il
business, and even if he did manage to live
along" he deserrcd failure?
Such are the views which have induced us Il
adopt the adrance system. We ask for them
candid consideration at the hands of our patrons
and feel confident that all who intended to pal
their printers bill will agree with us in their cor
rectness, and in the necessity of our adopting thi
! course.
We shall continue, as heretofore, to receive al
kinds of farm produce on subscription, at the high
est market rates, but it must be delivered inraridl,
| in adrdncc.
| All of our present subscribers who wish to con
! tinue taking the JOURNAL after the close Of tn
| present volume, have ample time to send u.s. b.
mail or otherwise, the amount they wish to pay
before the 9th Of May next,
| We shall continue our endeavors to publish
! paper we'll worth the subscription price to ever
! resident of Wood County. The Endorsement whicl
we have already received from our patrons is trU,
gratifying, and while we are compelled in sclf
defense, to change the terms Of payment, we trus
that our present patrons wiN renew their tavor>
and aid US Ia extending the circulation of tn
