CASH PLAN ADOPTED.

The postage law, which goes into operation LIST
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 subscriptions. 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
or. The former will be relieved of the postage
tax whilst the latter will be enabled TO simplify
the operations of his business and to improve
the facilities for conducting it.
No name a0iU be entered unless the subse7ip-
tion Is paid for in aduaaace.
During the past few months every subscriber
in arrears has been furnished, through the mails,
with statement of his account. Many have
responded with rernittances discharsing their
liabilities and paying in advance for the current
year. We appesl urgently to those who have
not made similar response to do so without
further delay, rs after !he first of January, 1916
we will commence to discontinue the paper to
those WHO have not paid in advance. The time
within which all III arrears can close up the bal
ances due, and make an advance payment is am
pie, and we fattcr ourselves that but few names
will be dropped.
