March 26, 1863, Clarke County Journal (Alabama)
The high prices of everything we have to buy–provisions, paper, ink, &c.–compel us to raise the subscription price of the Journal. Accordingly we have placed it at $3 per annum, in advance. This is a very reasonable price for a newspaper considering the exorbitant prices of almost everything else. Paper and ink have gone up five or six hundred per centum, and are extremely difficult to obtain at that.
