At which time we shall commence doing
strictly
PAy-IN-ADyANCE BUSINESS !

The enormous and still increasing price Of print
ing materials together with the fact that probably
onefourth 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 credh, is u 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 pdy--Cither to increase our
price, thus making paying men help bear our loss
by dclinqucnts or 70 send paper only to those
who pay strictly in advance. Accordingly, aS an
act uf justice to those who have always paid us
promptly, we have adopted the latter course, and
the close of Volume y will close connection
with publishing a newspaper, on trust"
Volume NJ OF the Journal will commence on
the 9th day Of May next, at which time we shall
commence doing a strictly PAY-IN-ADvAScE busi-
ness. After that time, 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 DISCONTINUE THE PAPER ro ALL
WHO 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 confdence-but il
we do not strictly enforce the system it will be no
| sytem at all
The terms of subscription to the JoURNAL, after
! the 9th Of May ynext-commencement Of Volume
| NI-will be as folows-sTRICTLY IN ADVANCE:
One copy, one year .....'...' 49,. ........Sl 5C

One copy, four months go. ............... Of
Some of our subscribers may think this depart
ure from "ancient usage" hardly fair--but wha
would they think of the farmer who commenced
| his seasons work next spring, paying cash for hi.
| implements and labor, and letting thousand diff
terent persons have one or two dollars worth q
! his harvest, on 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 any
requirement about the time of payment Or q
| the merchant, who paid cash for his goods, anC
| then sold them to any one who called, in amounts
from one dollar upward, and telling those who die
not offer to pay cash, "lts 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 dcscrred failure
Such are the views which have induced us t
| adopt the dirdnce system. We ask for them
candid consideration at the hands of our patrons
and feel confident that all who ever intended to pa,
their printers bill will agree with MS in their cor
rectness and in the necessity of our adopting th
course,
We shall continue, as heretofore, to receive al
kinds of farm produce on subscription at the high
est market rates but il must be delivered mrdriuW
| IN U,irdHce.
All of our present subscribers who wish to con
tinuc taking the JOURNAL after the close of tn
present volume, have ample time to send us, b.
mail or otherwise, the amount they wish to pay
before the 9th Of May next.
We shall continue our endeavors to publish
paper well worth the subscription price to ever
| resident of Wood County. The Endorsement whic
| we have already received from our patrons is tru
gratifying, and while we are compelled, in "lj
dejlSs, to change the terms of payment. we trus
that our present patrons will renew their faynrS
and aid us in extending the circulation of til
jOrRSAL.
