Cr,ogr or THE VOLUME.

with this issue Of the JOURNAL closes the
tlsrty third year Of its publicaton,--the ninth
year of our conduct. Notwithstanding the linn
tied purss of the editor, and the almost univer-
sal fact that the paper has been under the wheel
Of the political party Of the county, from its
first appearance, we have demonstrated TO the
people in this section Of the State, that good
paper, advocating the great cause Of Humanity,
Temperance Education, Religion and Good Or
dercould be sustained here. To it for nine years
we have devoted all our time and energies, and
have ior our satisfaction, the knowledge that
the JOURNALS worth and efforts are appreciated.
twas always whig OF the Henry Clay school;
when the Republican party stood up we immo-
diately joined hands with it, believing that in
that organization was the nucleus, which devcl-
oped would give to our country a more glori-
Gus and never-dying record. Those hopes were
not blasted by defeat in 1885, butculminated in
victory in 1860 The JOURNAL has never taken
a step backward, but advocates to-day the same
indsputable principles f-evident to all-the
cause Of Humanity and the perpctuity ofthe I'm
ion. Since the attack on Fort Sumter by the
trnitorous rebels of Charleston, not one political
partisan article has been written forour columns.
We said then and believe now, "that in time
like this, there can be but two parties-patri-
OTIS and traitors" Believing thus, we were will
ling TO cooperate with any and every man who
was earnest and hearty in putting down the
wicked rebellion. Since its commencement, o
all things earthly, the utter overthrow and ex-
fiction of this unholy and wicked heresy has

live to see it accomplished, and our country come
up from this baptism of fire and blood to fulfil
its high destiny as Freedom loving and God
fearing people.
Those who read newspapers now are ofcourst
aware that it costs twenty per cent. more TO Prin
a newspaper now than it did three months ago
White paper of the size and quality we use, then
cost $500 per bundle; now it is worth at th'
mill Gil 90 per bundle. Ink and all material
about printing office have advanced in like
manner. Yet we are determined to print tn
JOURNAL at the old rates to advance paying sub
scribers, viz: town subscribers, left by carrier
$I,75, all others. $3.50. Those who do not pa
in advance, $500. Ministers, 81 in advance
For eight weeks past we have given our friend
this notice and they cannot expect us to deviat
from the rule.
Though we are printing 1000 copies weekly
we are desirous of increasing our number OF ad
vance paying patrons. All whO are indebted
us we hope will call for settlement. Those at
distance can send by mail.
To al who wish advertising of any character
the JOURNAL presents superior advantages owe
all papers in this section, and our terms are n
greater than formerly. Now is the time to ad
vertise.
We are gratified in being able TO say that th
JOURNAL has far larger list of subscribers an
readers than any other paper in this portion I
the State This fact we attribute to the after
ton bestowed upon the paper, and the pains Il
ken to obtain and publish the latest rews "
have good correspondents in several divisions
the Union army who keep our readers informe
of their movements. The National, State an
County matters receive their full share of after
ton; and the local, neighborhood items have N
been overlooked. We shall endeavor to NAL
the JOURNAL better than ever.
