PAY-IN-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 n newspaper
at 81 30 per year, 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 pay-either to 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 To those who have always paid us
promptly, we have adopted the latter course and
the close of Volume will close connection
with "publishing newspaper, on trust"
Volume Nj of the Journal will commence on
the 9th day Of May next, at which time shall
commence doing a strictly PAY-IN-ADvANcE bust
ness. Alter that tinlc no paper will be sent from
this office until paid for To thoroughly carry out
this plan, shall be compelled, after the 9th day
of May next, to DISCONTINUE THE PAPER TO ALL
WHO HAVE NOT PAID IN ADVANCE We shall, per-
haps, be compelled for a 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
! syeiH at all
The terms Of subscription to the JOURNAL, after
! tho 9th of May ynext-cOmmencement of Volume
Nl-will be rs follows-sTRICTLY IN ADVANCE:
! One copy, one year. ........ ...... ........Sl 81
One copy, eight months ..............:.... OC
One copy, four months ''.'.... ............ 81
Some of our subscribers may think this depart
| urc from ancient 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
ferent persons have one or two dollars worth o
| his harvest, on unlimited credit Or of the me
chanic. who employed wOrknen, and sent then
| throughout the county, to work one duy in place
! for any one who wished, and never making an,

the merchant who paid cash for his goods, auC
then sold them to any one who called, in amount,
from one dollar upward, and telling those who die
not offer to pay cash, cts all right--take YOU
every such man would almost certainly fail il
business, and even if he did manage to "liyt
along" he deserrcd failure? -
Such are the views which have induced us t.
adopt the adcdnce 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 in their cor
recncss, 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 nrariaI,

All of our present subscribers who wish to con
tinuc 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 pay
before the 9th of May next.
We shall continue our cndeavers to publish {
paper well worth the subscription price to ever,
resident of Wood County. The Endorsement whcl
we have already received from our patrons is trul,
gratifying, and while we are compelled, in sell
| dtcHse, tn change the terms of payment. trus
that our present patrons will renew their tavOrs
and aid us in extending the circulation of th
! JOURNAL.
