A BUsr DAY.-Wednesday of last, week
was a busy day. As early as three o'clock
IN the morning, teams were in motion and
falling into line for the city scales. BY six
o'clock Main street was blocked from Mar
ket-Square nearly to the Flanders House,
Fourth street. and few hours later was SO
full that team could not be driven on this
thoroughfare. At noon we made a count
of the teams from the head OF Main street
to Market-S4uare, awaiting turns to be
weighed, and tho result showed = total OF
three hundred oHd jorfy-one! AT this time
the yards of the hotels were full, and Bluff
street, leading to the warehouses, was also
damned with teams unloading and wait
ing to unload, all Of which, OF course, did
not enter into our count. The total num-
Der OF teams in town on that day doubtless
will not fail short OF cIcven hsnIred Mo

laugh at us and call us fool II we were obliged
to suspend, simply because we did not charge
enough. The people of the county are willing
to sustain paper, and are ready to pay for it a
sum sufficient to give its publisher good living.
They will not pay as, however. more than we
ask, and SO. in order to get paying price. we
must ask it.. We propose, therefore, to charge
$l.50 in advance, and at the rate of S2.0O per
year for all subscriptions not paid in advance.
We are not alone in this advance in price. 9th

their subscriptions. We print paper for the
sake of profit, and not as pastime, and we In.
