People's Pilot, Volume 6, Number 33, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 February 1897 — ON A CASH BASIS. [ARTICLE]

ON A CASH BASIS.

After fully considering the effects of this radical deviation from the usual custom of county papers, we have concluded, let the consequences be what they may, to run the People’s Pilot on a strictly cash system in the future. We are obliged to do this as a result of the existing hard times. Beginning with the New Year, each subscriber will be notified in advance of the time his subscription expires, and when the time is up the name will be taken from the list and the papor discontinued. Subscribers who are in arrears the fractional part of a year will be sent the paper until the year is completed, but no longer. Every name on the list that is behind more than one.year will be dropped Feb, Ist, 1897, unless the subscriber makes a payment for the future, and arranges with us for a settlement of what is ! now due. We will allow those who cannot pay a full years subscription to pay for six months or three months. This rule will not be deviated from, and should offend no one. Those who do not feel able to take the paper will not have it forced upon them. If you pay for the paper in advance you will know that it will stop when the time is out, and no bill will afterwards be presented.
