HOLMES co. FARMER
FOR 1896
So A YEAR ALWAYS IN ADVANCE.

owing to the high price Of everything, we nro
compelled to Increase the price of subscription
or require pay In advance
We lose every year from $500 to $500 by sub
scribers who never pay. This saved, and the
use OF the money paid in advance, we hope, Will
enable us to keep up the paper at 800 year.
We do not think II altogether right to charge
paying subscribers enough to make up what we
lose by non-paying ones, But we must do 80 or
have no delnquents.
We have therefore determined to adopt the
advance system, commencing with the next
volume, which will be about the 10th of Fcbru-
ary. At that time all who have not payed in
advance will have their papers stopped. And
after that time papers will always bc stopped
when the time paid for expires.
Many of our subscribers may wish to pay be-
fore the 10th of February and for the convent
ence of those who will not be in town, we have
appointed the following agents who will receipt
for any money paid:
GOTLEIB CARRIER, welnsbcrg.
ERASTUS BEECHER, Mt. Hope.
HENRY POMERENE, Fredericksburg.
DANIEL KNOX, Nashville,
WILLIAM WHITE, Jones Corners.
S1LNENUS PukDY, .Humphreysville.
IoSEPli MAGKEY, Monroe Centre.
SAMUEL ATKINSON, Berlin.

The Times Washington special says Judge
Holt, chief of the bureau of military justice,
gave an opinion yesterday, promulgated by
order of the Secretary of War, constraining
the second and third sections of the act OF
Congress, passed July 4th, 1864, which pro-
vides that all claims Of loyal citizens in States
not in rebellion, for quartermaster stores or
for subsistence, actually furnished to the army
of the United States, and receipted for by the
proper officers receiving the same, or which
may have been gotten withouta receipt, may be
submitted respectively to the Quartermaster
General or Commissary General, and if found
just, &C., the last named officer shall recon
mend the third auditor for settlement. Judge
Holt holds that to justify the action contem-
plated by the second and third sections Of the

Of loyal citizens in States not in rebellion,

question SO complicated with political and
other considerations. proper for the determi--
nation OF Congress, that the executive admin

claims without the clearest authority conferred
by law. 1t is not supposed to have been the
intention of Congress to bestow such authority

The reason that the Southerners are sc
opposed TO the repudation of the rebel wal
debt, may be found in the fact that the deb,
does not become due till their independence is
acknowledged, that is never. Now if there
was any chance that the rebels would be
taxed to pay the debt they would repudiate ii
in spite of all opposition. 1t costs them
nothing to pretend to be honest, and SO they
hang on with great tenacity TO the pivilege
ofpaying the rebelwar debt-when it becomes
due
