Our County Matters.

On the eve of the elections peo-
pie naturally give more attention
to the affairs of the county gener-
ally, and we deem it proper time
to speak through our columns, to
the reading portion at least Of this
community, in relation to our
county, its condition and its wants.
County government is rarely left
entirely in the hands Of any one
party, the people generally when
selecting their officers, looking be-
yond mere party ties to the men
themselves, and selecting from the
candidates those most reliable las
they thinl1), and place them in pow
or. But in Alpena county, for
years the men who have had the
control of our financial affair have
represented one party, and being
mt the present time leading lights
in that party, and some of them
candidates for Office now, it is not
unfair, we think, to assume that
their actions in the past have been
endorsed, and that their party (Re-
publican) has deliberately should
cred the responsibility of their acts.
Let us see what the party thus as
sumes:
No one win deny that in every
light any man looks at the tax
question, in this county, it reflects
no credit on the men who have had
control. BY Encouragement, care
lessness, and in some cases, we fear,
through ignorance of these duties,
they have plunged the county into
more than twenty expensive law
suits, with o fine prospect of a
great many more. BY proper at
tention to their business, by omit
ting to do any act Of doubtful
legality and the exercise of the
same care Of the county's business
as of their own, they could have
avoided all this litigation and it
necessary expenses. If we are t.
have law suit upon law suit pileC
onto the county on account Of thu
failure Of these men to do the bus
mess right, it is certainly time foi
the citizens who have the true anC
best interests Of the county at heart

QUITE ROMANTIC.
Fair EXCHANGE No Robbery.

Our readers will generally recollect the ac-
counts published Of the Lee Summit eIope-
ment, because nearly everyone reads the
elopements. For those that can not recol-
lect the incident, We will merely state that a
IIeavenworth doctor deserted his lawful wife,
and ran away with the false wife Of a Lee
Summit druggist. The deserted husband,
instead OF gulping down all the instantaneous
poison in the spothecary shop as a means Of
afiording relief for the loss of his Darling
Bessie of the Loe-Summit, quietly and
honorably continued 10 pursue the avoca.ion
Of selling drugs and preparing prescriptions.
He was not the man TO lose faith in all
womanhood because zone woman" went
astray, even if that woman had been near
and dear to him, and began casting about
for another matrimonial alliance. Doubtless
IL occurred TO him that the wife of the Leav-
enwor,h doctor, who had captured and ran
away with has wife, woald combine the quail
ties OF mind and character essential to a
happy union, and forthwith visited her, ard
found her all that his fancy had painted.
Therefore he pays his addresses with all the
persistency Of an accomplished lover; and if
no untoward circumstances intervene, and
both parties are willing, THE TINES will be
happy to record another wedding. "Fair
exchange is no robbery" but by this e1-
4 a., al
plan of changing wives or husbands.
