 remitting their Subscription, should name the Office to

 rule will save much time to us and lose none to them

 the law requires, when papers are not taken from their 

 Offices by Subscribers. 



RUFFIN & AUGUST, Proprietors. 



TO SUBSCRIBERS. 



We earnestly request that you will" read our 

 " Terms" at least once a year, and always before 

 writing us upon any subject connected with 

 your paper. We frequently receive letters con- 

 taining remittances, and others requesting dis- 

 continuances or directing a change to other 

 post-offices when the office to which the paper is 

 sent is not named. Such omissions occasion us 

 a great deal of trouble, and it not unfrequently 

 happens that your wishes cannot be attended 

 to in consequence of your neglect to conform to 

 this standing request. 



JUi^ Remember always to name your post of- 

 fice when writing about your paper.

 ern Planter" bound, at $1 50 per volume, post- 

 age included.

 their general accuracy. We desire to say in 

 this connection, however, that the farmers of 

 Virginia should, in justice to themselves; adopt 

 some method of ascertaining annually the yield 

 in this State. The importance of obtaining this 

 information requires no elucidation, and we 

 trust that the subject will receive the attention 

 it deserves. Whatever may be the yield of
