THE ILLINOIS FA-HMEK. ; 



IS lUG 



C1.UB9. 



We are mak'ng arrangements to giro the Journal an 



entire new suit of t;pe^, rules, etc. This change will take 

 place at theclcBe of the year. The flrstniimterofonr Week- 

 ly for 1800 will be ptiblished on Wednesday, January 4th 

 •nd printed with new and beautiful type made expressly for 

 oar nae. A large outlay of money it required iu order to 



make this improvement, and althouKh unr print is uow as 

 good as the average, und better than a great many of our 

 coDtemporarifS,yet we feeljostifiediu the expenditure by the 

 liberal patronage that we have received. 



A few words in relation to the i nst and future may not be 

 out of place here We have l.ibored incesnantly dnrinK the 



yeiir about t • close, for the edification of our readors.nnd have 

 spared no expense to place before tbem the latest and most 

 reliable intelligeDce on all tubjects of interest within the 

 scope of our design. 



unr t>e4t efforts have Ilk'-wise been put forth f >r the ad« 

 vancement of the principles of the only conservativ.', free 

 labor and free soil party in the Union. Within the past four 

 years this party has grown from a pigmy to a giant, and 

 next year will witness the peaceful transfer of the reins of 

 government to Its keeping for .he Presidential term 



The claims of Illinois must not be cverloiiked. In the 

 coming contest Illinois will b > the great battle ground. The 

 bogus Democracy still cling to thU State with teuHcity, and 

 nau ht but the united voice and exertions of freemen can 

 wreit her irom their grasp. 



Friends, we propose to aid the people in thir strufgls with 

 the ofBcfvholders, to the extent of our abilities, and oHr Abili- 

 ties niuat benieasurfd in n dt^gree by the amount of support 

 extended to 08. Almostevery settlement can send us a club 

 cf ten. fifteen or twenty Hubscribers, at the low rates for 

 which we are now sending the paper There in no more 

 powerful modt) of, digiteminating correct principles than 

 through the medium of the newspxper. Its influence is 

 silent and almost imperceptible, bnt it is constant and effec- 

 tive. 



Among ths attractions for the ensuing year, in addition 

 to our already large cori a of contributors, we shall present 

 an occasional article from the pen of '-Rural;" alxo, a regular 

 letter from Washington City, from the pen of one wht, is 

 familiar with Illinois politics, and who possesses nnusua 

 facilities for (.btainingreliablmews. 



A nnmbsr of persons have already set about making n(> 

 clubs in their own settlements One man handed in twenty-, 

 two names a few dxyg aito. Suppose each subscriber would 

 get only on^ new Hut>8criber, the result won Id be an increase 

 of thousands ofrea^Ierg. Tbr price is so low thit we cannot 

 afford to employ Hgnnta to canvnss.for us and we mu4t rely 

 on the friends of the paper to make a little exertion to widen 

 Its circle of readers and influence. Now is the time. Hnn« 

 dreds of persons are ab^at to ceaxe taking K:aste''n papers 

 and substitute others, and many of them will Join a club for 

 the JuuaNAL at the asking. Willour friends see to this ? The 

 reduced rates to clubs are subjuincd.

THIS COMPANY WAS CHARTERED 

 in 1839, and insures, at a moderate cost, almost every 

 species of property in Illinois against Loss or Damage by 

 Fire, 'i he rates of risk are so arranged that eacu class of 

 property insured will support its own loss. 



Every one Insured becomes a member— the Company being 

 an association of customers— each of whom is concerned iu 

 insuring his neighbor. The capital augments in exact ratio 

 with the increase of risks; the security 'or which remains in 

 tho hands of the insured; therefore, every member is the 

 treasurer of his own money until the same is required for 

 the purpose of paying losses.

IN ESTABLISHING A NURSERY AT 

 this place, we have done ro with a view of making it 

 a permanent business. We invite the prtronage of thoss 

 who wish to encourage home industry, and have a desire to 

 beautify their grouodg and fill their orchards with such 

 plants and fruits as are adapted to our soil and climate; at the 

 same time we disclaim any intention to make war on those 

 who purchase of peddlers, or sendeant for their supplies, we 

 art cout -nt to wait, as we lo k to these persons to make us a 

 valuable class of customers, at no distant day. The well 

 cultivated ground where their dead trees stand will l>e iu 

 excellent condition to do ample Justice to live healthy trees, 

 to which we may point with pleasure. Trees grown in New 

 York, with highly stimulating manures, and being protect- 

 ed by snow in the wintei , can hardly be expected to 

 stand, unscathed, our changeable climate. It is onr pride to 

 give ( ur customers siitlsfaction; this wo intend to do on all 

 occasions, as we can live by a fair and legitimate business.
