THE COUNTY PRINTING.


THE COUNTY PRINTING.
II is wcll.known to our fellow citizens that
this paper has bsen the organ and representa-
tive of tho Rspubliean patty in wuod County,
FROM The time OF iH drs. organization. Ocen'
wing thiiposilion us columns havobcen claiin-
cl by eau lilatcs fir n:c, whereby to attain
the position desired Ofaone OF those men, il
my very properly be said, that but h'r che pub.
lcitv thcy thus obiaiued, their pro-sninont
nbhties would have remained undiscovered,
which probably would have b,cn no dstri'ncnt
{, the taxpayers. II we have thus had the
misfortune to exhibit for office those that Illus.
irate the genus Turkey DlIEard, instead of the
genuine American Eagle, we regret It, The
fault originstcs with our ignorance of ornithol
ony, aud we can mike atsuem mt only by doing
our beat Lorsi siftor to drive such dirty birds from
the public cage.
Another very heavy tax LAID on ushls b'cn
tie dem tui for hA,l bills, posters, and oih,r
kinds Of printing, during tn prevalence NJ a
political campaign. Fur such printing we have
nvcr obtained the value " our labor, and,
snIll rs hts bosn our charges, yet in many ca
sthe bills rem IN unpaid.
Ip regard to the county printing, wc have
never had the whole Of il, and of late years,
but little besides that which the law prescrbos
shall be printed in the county papers, the price
OF which, to great extent, is regulated by law.
As Sr. JouN aud Rus5ELL, and some OF thoss
in Ale Court house who are secretly operating
with them in their dishonorablr otHci"l policy,
haee represented our exposure Of them "a prO.
ocedns frnn their taking the county printing
tlum this office, we hereby mos. rmphatlcly
rive their statement the lie. In the Spring Of
1863 we openly and plainly denounced the in-
Justice toward the taxpayers, aud wchavc con-
,inued " do 40. Our action in this matter has
bscn the sole cause of their Withdrawing such
,uuty patronage. Had the JouRNAL acquiesed
i thair barc-fac-d swindls of the taxpayers;
or remained silent conc crning their wanton
usurpatiun Of authority IN depriving the people
of their right To vote on m ,tteT of local taxa
tou--we should have retained their patronage,
and all would have been right. To hear these
men talk, somt may infer that the tho JorRNAL
cannot exist when bertft of their ''Ncet 'miie'
luleed one Of the interesting young gentlemen
who, in mpsny with Bowling Green EMrsr

That our readers may un lerstand the depth
or this great eI,a7,ty'' We furnish the follow
ing stttcment of our aggregate receipts from the
cpuuy offices for the two years, ls6s aud 1862

OF the receipts for advertisements published
in the JuURSAL, $500 30 was for publishing the
Delinquent Tax List. which is regulated by law.
and sl3I % for publishing the Commissioners
Report, which was given us by order ot the
Judge Of Common Pleas, over which the Com
missiuners had no eontrh. In regard to the job
work 2sl IS, we have done It on an assumed
contract price, which, when the cost "f paper
aud printing material ia deducted, only just pays
for our labor.
It will be seen By the above, that including
the cost Of material aud labor. we have received
from the county Of Wood an a,rraEe OF s5s2
ajls during the past two years, for the adyer'
tising done aud the job work urnish its officers
We should MT, however, omit 10 state, that in
addition to the lib,rAl use of our columns to al
vucate the interests rf candidates hr cfIlcc, ",
have also received from certain Ulcers, ORDER
for campaign printing, such as hand bills, yas

That our fueudS NAV not feel alarmed at thi,

the JOURNAL, we desire to state, that We pur
chased this Office about two years since at =

Is now paid for, and NAV possibly have a few

claim the CO operation OF every honorable lie
