PAY-uN-ADvANCE BUSINESS {,

The enormous and still increasing price Of print.
ing materials, together with the fact that probably
one-fourth Of the subscribers to 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
81 30 per year, on cfcC1Si, Is q 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 doa't pdy-either to increase our
price, thus making paying men help bear our loss
| by delnquents, or to send paper only to those
who pay strictly In advance. Accordingly az an
act of justice to 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-IS- ADV AScE bust
ness. After that tinic, no paper will be sent from
this office until paid for. To thoroughly carry out
this plan we shall be compelled after the 9th day
of May next, to DiscONTTuG Tue rArER To ALL
WHO HAVE NOT rArD IN ADVANCE We shall, per
haps, be compelled for time TO part company
with somc subscribers in whose ability and intcn-
ton TO pay We have the utmost confidence but if
We do not strictly enforce the systom it will be no
sytem at all

Some of our subscribers may think this depart,
ure from "ancieut usage" hardly tsir-but what
would they think of the farmer who commenced
his seasons work uext spring, paying cash for his
implements and laboranpd letting thousand diff.
tcrent persons have one or two dollars worth of
his harvest, on uniimited credit Or of the me.
chanic, 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
tho merchant, who paid cash tor hts goods and
then sold them TO any one who called, in amounts
from one dollar upward, and telling those who did
not otier to pay cash, ITS all rsht-tako your
every such man would almost certainly fail In
business, and even if he did manage to olive .
along" he deserved failure2
Such are the views which have induced us to
adopt the ddrdncc system, We ask for them a
candid consideration at the napds OF our patrons /
and feel confident that all who Intended 70 nav
their printers bill will agree with us in their cor.
rectness, and in the necessity of our adopting this
course.
We shall continue ms heretofore, to receive all
kinds Of fatEn psodpre ou sAhserHton, al The high
est market rates, but it must be delivered inrartiLGy
in advance.
All of our present subscribers who wish 10 con.
tinue taking the JOURNAL after the close of thu
present volume, have ample time to send us, bY .
mail or otherwise, the amount they wish to paw
before the 9th Of May next.
We shall continue our endcavors to publish a
paper well worth the subscription price to every
resident of Wood County. The Endorsement which
we have already received from our patrons is truly
gratifying and whilo wo are compelled, in SELF
defense, to change the terms of payment. we trust
that our present patrons will renew their favors,
and aid in extending the circulation of the
JOURNAL.
