ton to the detriincrt of their own. If we are patronized liberally we can publish q good paper. We have viriu- ally reduced the price of our paper below that of any other in the State by offering premium worth dollar to every farmerin the country. At the time we done this we also determined to adopt the cash system, as there was no real profit in the subscription and we were not able to furnish the paper and wait for the money, besides the loss that is always sustained, as there are a number from death and other causes who never pay. After this month we will not continue to offer the Stock Journal as premium. All who wish to take advantage of this inducement 10 subscribe for the Citizen should send in their names at once. The time of many of our old subscri- bers will expire during this month and we hope they will renew, but we can not possibly send it to them unless they pay us in advance. This is much the best for both parties, as the amount is small and there will be no necessity for our having to perform the disa- greeable task of .dunning. Specimen copies of the Journal will be found at the different postofiices in this and contiguous counties.
