The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1869-12-09


week we have to make an additional. ex;;
PLANTATION, The sob keg of ink sent us
which we could not use, was ink for .
Power Press. The ink used last week
was ink for Hand Press, but in using
the P. P. ink we spoiled the rollers and
failed to get new rollers in time to print
the TELEGRAPH last week, and conse-
quently it was poorly printed This
week we give to our readers well printed
paper, and we send a greeting to them
through the TELEGRAPH. And we trust
they will be so well pleased in receiving
a we'll printed paper that they will over
look its imperfections Of the last two or
three weeks. We can assure all who
have been dissatisfied that our dissatis-
faction has been greater than theirs. But
as we are thankful for the pains and
sorrows as well as the pleasures.and Joys
of life, we are thankful for even these
We have learned something from them
which we did not before know We
have learned somewhat how highly
the TELEGRAPH is appreciated when it is
well printed And we have learned
something of the Dissatisfaction of some
people when their paper is nos well
printed and what some of them do and
say about 1t. We will give few incl-
dents in this connection in the order IN
which they occurred.
When the carrier was delivering the pa
pers one of our well known citizens refus-
ed to receive his, giving as . reason that
it was not we'll printed. That man. for a
wonder, had paid for the TELEGRAPH e.
One of our wealthy men sent us WORD
that he wanted us to go and read the
TELEGRAPH for him, as it was so poorly
printed he could not tell what its poll
tics were. With electrical speed our
memory brought up an incident of our
boyhood days when one of our neighbors,
in speaking of another neighbor, said of
him: "He is too lazy to breathe and
needs little Niger boy to wheel his
breathe up and down for him. We i'm
medlately replied that we might perhaps
send him a little niger boy. This man
has been receiving the TELEGRAPH
through the Post Office for over nine
months without paying for it. -, g-,o ID
We received paper mailed alta Post
Office in one of the Towns of this County
with three cent Postage Stamp on the
wrapper in payment of the postage. On
opening it we found the paper to be a
TELEGRAPH and on it was written
"Please stop my paper. will settle ar
rears on my first visit to the city" This
communication had the name of a well
known citizen of this county subscribed
toit. Out of respect to our Honorable
friend who treated us SO disrespectfully
we withhold his name from the public
We use the word Honorable for he has
been a member of the Legislature from
this county, Notwithstanding his hayr
ing been a law maker, he has made two
mistakes of law in his communication
sent to US. A subscriber in arrears for
his paper cannot stop it till he pays for
it, if the publisher continues to send it
to him. The law holds subscriber in
arrears liable for his paper as long as it
is sent to him till he pays for it. He can
then order it discontinued but not before
A newspaper with writing on it is..subject
to letter postage. A three cent postage
clamp pays the postage on letter of half
an ounce only, On whatever the TELE
GRAPH and wrapper weighed over half
an ounce the postage was not paid. If
the Post Master had noticed the writing
on the paper it was his duty to have
charged US full letter postage and if we
refused to pay it to send it to the Office
where mailed with instructions to the
Post Master to prosecute the one who
mailed the paper for the penalty of five
dollars for violation of the Post Office
law. This Honorable subscriber had
been taking the TELEGRAPH six months
without paying for it.. 5 s5ss 2 , 81 s 255
We received letter from one of our
subscribers as follows: "Paris Nov. 9th

not one of those persons to find fault with
every little mistake an Editor or Publish
