The postage law, which goes into operation lst
of January, 1875, requires prepayment on all
newspapers sent through the mails beyond the
limits of the counties in which they are publish
ed We have, therefore, determined to adopt
the CASH PLAN for all sub :criptions. While
avoiding the losses, tardy payments and ex-
penses of collection incident to the credit sys-
tenn, we will be required to prepay the postage
The change determined upon will, therefore,
prove beneficial to both subscribers and publish
er. The former will be relieved Of the pos.sge
tax whilst the latter will be enabled TO simplify
the operations of his business and to improve
the facilities for conducting it.
No name ,ciU be entered unless the sudScrip-
ton is paid for tn advance.
During the past few months every subscriber
in arrears has been furnished, through the mails,
with statement of his account. Many have
responded with remttances discharging their
liabilities snd paying in advance for The current
yesi. We appeal urgently to those who have
not made similar response to do 50 without
further delay, rs alter the first Of January. 1873,
we will commence to discontinue the paper to
those WHO have not paid III advance. The time
within which all in arrears can close up the bal.
ances due and mak~s1 advance payment Is am.
pie, and we fatter ourselves that but lew ns,nes
will be dropped.
