Re-TAK1xG A RIsK.-A good story. is


TAKING a RIsK.-A good story is
old of one of our steamboat clerks. A
gentleman from the country, who had
never, perhaps, seen steamboat before,
desired to ship number of hogs TO some
point below. He was afraid, lie said, to
ship=the hogs without having them in
sured, and as he didn't know exactly how
to proceed about such transaction, he
wanted some information from the clerk.
The clerk, thinking he had soft snap,
and ruther to set the countrymon at
ease, told him he would himself take the
risk, and after figuring for few moments,
informed the shipper that the price of tho
risk would be Eve dollars. The country
man forked over, and ms the boat pro-
eeeded down stream, the clerk told the
crew how he had taken a risk. on the old
mans hogs, and what good joke it was.
The boat had not gone far until the
finest hog in :be lot jumped overheard
and was drowned thing never known
to happen on the boat before, and which
the fun loving clerk never anticipnted.-
The copntryman, encouraged by the crew
of the boat, insisted upon being paid for
the hog aud became perfectly clnmorous
when it was sought to put him OF. He
created such an uproar at last, that the
clerk was compelled to pay him twenty
dollars for the lost hog. Since that time
the crew have greeted the clerk as .'lstna, .
'.Mutual," and such like nicEnnmes, until
he has determined never to take another
risk upon any terms.

IT not, they will vote for James H.
B. Harris The course of Mr..
Harris has been constantly to Sc
cure the interests Of the people
In procuring the printing for his
office, unlike that of the Treasurer
it has been invariably let to the
party that would do it for the
least money. And that is right.
We elect officers to serve us, in
stead of devouring our substance
or to crafty personal ambition
or subserve partisan purposes.
The people should bear in mind
that the convention that nominal
ted Mr.. Webster Endorsed this in
famous $3.50 swindle perpetrated
upon the Taxpayers of the Go.
They should also bear in mind
that the indorsment Of the present
Treasurer by that convention
would justify Mr. Webster should
he be elected, in departing from
the safe policy of Mr.. Harris in
procuring his work where it could
be got for the least money, and in
its stead, paying the outrageously
exorbitant prices that avarice on
the one hand dare crave and that
official independence on the other,
may choose to give. Taxpayers
of Howard county,! your taxes
for next year will be unnecessarily
increased over 500 to pay for
this county printing. Are you
ready to indorse the Treasurer and
the Republican party, by the cleo
ton of Mr.. Webster, when we
warn you that another and sim
liar swindle, is already prepared
for you, for the ensuing year, if
YOU indorse them by electing Mr.

4 BASE lNSINUdTION.

We are credibly info rmcd that
the leaders of the republican par
ty, are insinuating, through vari-
Gus parts of this county, that the
Democratic candidate for Clerk,
knows more of the movements of
o. D. Golf than he ought. Nov
if there is any truth in this state
ment they ought to be too honor
able to chargeit in skulking and
insinuating manner. Let the
charge be openly made, and it will
be as openly met. But if that IN.
situation is worth anything
against Mr.. Harris, we would ask
what it is worth against Mr.. Web
ster, that he, last week, brought
this same Golf, just escaped from
Jail in Freeport, ILL.,, to Howard
Co. If so base an insinuation is
worth anything before the people
we think this fact against Mr..
Webster, is worth more. We
submit the facts to the people for
what they are worth.

COUNTY PRINTING FOR 1860, & 1861.
If the people of this county,
believed that the policy of the
Treasurer & Recorder, was to
fasten the Republican upon them
as salaried Stipendiary for coun-
ty printing at exorbitant rates,
and that some one of the clique as
in the case of one of the signers of
the notes for the press, are to be
the recipients of a large proper
ton of the sum thus taken from
the Go. treasury. we believe they
would rebuke the clique that went
through the farce of indorsing DIR.
Cowan, at the convention that
nominated c. F. Webster, and
vote for James H. B. Harris.
Yet we state to the Taxpayers
of the county, that such is the
rumor. We are ready now to con-
tract for the county printing for
the next year at the same rates we
offered for this year, viz S25, and
we now make that offer to the
Treasurer and Recorder, and wish
it for a standing bid. We are
ready to give him the best secu.
rity in the county for the faithful
and correct performance of the
work. After the unwarranted
manner of the former letting, are
the people ready to indorse the
.actiou of the Treasurer. in pres,,.

In 1856 John M. Wilson, of

We are authorized by DR.. Cowan to
state, that the report circulated, that he
offered w. R. Mead, Four Hundred
Dollars to do the county printing, after
the contract had been let to the Repub-
lican, is base falsehood. -Republicam.
True as gospel. We branded
the statement as false more than
six weeks ago, and say the samo
now, yet the Treasurer is the only
person that we can learn of, that
ever circulated the report, and we
are informed that he did, in the
Western part of the County in
the hearing of a large number of
individuals at different times and
places. We authorized the Re-
publican, at that time, and every
other party, to brand the report as
an infamous falsehood. Indeed
the Treasurer feels that, the
way of the Transgressor is hard"
