On and after the first day of Jana ai T’ 1889, the Journal will be sent only to subscribers who are paid in advance. This has nominally been our rule f° r several years, but first for one good fellow and then for another we have broken it, until now we have upon onr hooks several hundred dollars on sev eia ^ hundred good and true men. \ Hereafte it must be “No dollar, no paper.” The label*on your paper will show the time to which your sub¬ scription is paid, and unless the final figure is a nine, or you know it ought lo be, send us a remittance at once, or your name wall be dropped after next week.

Dont look for another number of the Journal unless your subscrip¬ tion is paid in advance. The plan on which we propose to run for one year is, “No dollar, no paper.” For next year we are going to make the Journal better than any country paper in Georgia. A thou sand cash in advance subscribers will enable us to ’ do this. Now is the time to subscribe. “No dollar, no paper.” The Central railroad will issue du ring the holidays round trip tickets P°* nts on system at four cents a mile, good until the 3rd day of January. This liberal rate will enable us to visit all our kin during the holiday season. ONEDOLLAR A YEAR, STRIOTLY IN ADVANCE. The Atlanta Constitution of Sunday, was a big paper of two pages. It is a big paper for the south or for any section. Certainly a bigger paper for Atlanta than Herald is for New York, though quite as big for Atlanta as the Jour nal is for Hamilton. ---♦--- I he democratic newspapers are in a stew because they believe Air Blaine is to be’ in President son’s cabinet. Tliere is not an man in the republican party and Mr. Harrison will be in his own light if he fails to recognize Mr. Blaine’s services in a substantial manner. Christmas turkies come high this season. rimes are tight with try editors generally and with in this section particularly. give this information for the benefit of all our friends who were unavoid ably prevented last Christinas from remembering us w ith specimens of the fowl yard’s ehiefest glory. • The eonrntry doesn’t seem to in a much better condition than was at the end of last year, although crops have been larger and prices better. The credit system is to be blamed for much of the trouble. Pay as you go is the best motto. For 1888 the Journal w ill run an ac . count with nobody. It doesn’t pose to teach one thing and practice another. Our motto is “no dollar, no paper.” The Georgiy legislature has done • wisely in increasing the public .school fund. Six months schools will do much better work and insure much better teachers, A lack of learning^causes every interest in the country to suffer, but none so much as the newspapers. We are not sur¬ prised then at the hearty applause the press has given to the progressive spirit shown by the lower horse, But the people as well as the press applaud liberal appropriations for the schools, The county election, one w eek from next Wednesday, should NO. 50. be held in mintl by every reader of the Journal who lives in Karri < county. The democratic party, in a primary participated in by nearly every democrat in the county, has nominated candidates for the county offices all of these gentlemen will serve the county faithfully. lint even if you think not, your personal preference should Ik* held in abey anee to parly discipline, especially .when the candidates have been 80 leeted so fairly, So many bad ele ments have been eliminated from the canvass for offices this fall, that the man who stays away from the polls and fails to endorse this new depart ure by his vote and influence, is dead to the best interests of his race n j eountv. * itself on its Sunday poets. From a poem in the issue of last Sunday we get the following exquisite stanza, The spring time is not here, Gentle Annie, but your true southron poet is as indifferent to winter as a pig is to praise. Here are the lines: j Whoop, la, make room for Jumbo, You gamers clear the track ,\ there I There’s a cage of pied hyenas! I say ! you’d best stand back there! 1’umpty-tumpty, here he comes, Humpty-dumpty, with his thumbs Stuck into his nose. There’s a lady on a chariot, With a snake, (how can she carry it?) Wound from head to toes. The old proverb is, “Poeta nascitur non lit.” How could anybody write this, Yeptin’ hit were born in em. The Birmingham tragedy or trage¬ dies of last week will go into history. The developement came so thick and fast as to leave the public in awe as step by step the most horrible crime of our times has been unearthed, every new developement seeming to add a new link in the chain of circumstantial evidence which points to Richard Hawes jxh the deepest died villian of any age.
