injustice of our Saracenic attack on his
Christian camp, is again exercised. He
must be. troubled with an earthquake
shock among his internal organs, or IN
attack of dclirium tremcns, that he
should thus launch out with his keen
edged Phillipics at us. Just hear him
our ueiEbcrs' baldrrdash about the 80 county Print
Ing and their hypocricsl anxiety about saving the
county's funds.
He does get serious then, sometimes.
It is hard to tell when he is serious or
joking, SO astounding arc his sentences.
Being constitutionally "tired in his
nature, conversations containing sense
or any degree of logic wearies his very
sensitive and effeminatc brain. Baldcr-
dash is good. That's kind of "slangy "
though for a enlightened" paper like
the Herald. He further says:
When the present Board Of county commissioner.

paper, and bad much larger circulation than any 9TH
this county The price to BE- paid for this
to DO it for less, nor can any one receive more.
He ought to have said, "The Herald
is more 'high-toned' too" We will
compare subscription lists with our
brother and see which has the largest
circulation, provided he cuts off the
hundred or two "dead-heads." Paper
is too high and We can't afford, as we
have not the county printing, to send
all the friends we ever had, North,
South, East or West, paper without
receiving therefor the usual 81 in ad-
vance. Welove our friends, but 81 from
each and every one Of them is just AZ
loveable. With his usual modcsty G.
upon such occasions, the editor OF the
Herald blows his bugle about his paper
being SO much larger than The JOURNAL.
In looking over his columns We find al
/" entertaining discourse p" from Old
Crook on his wine of tar. rs also wha,
he knows about poke root; long pros
pectus of some old strOngminded woman
(like the Herald NAM Oh the science vi
health; quack doctor advertisements.
etc, etc. Our readers may not under
stand that the numerous prOspcctuses
of books, newspapers, ETC., which take
I'D so much room in the Herald, entitle
the publisher, upon one publication, to a
copy of the newspaper for one year, and
the book. That's all. The Herald man
puts them in each week just to I'LL up
with in his LARGE paper. His Crook
and other humbuggish" advertise
ments he also puts in to fill up with, re-
ceiving therefor apout onc-half what he
charges local advertisers. How do our
business men like that! Readers of
both papers will, upon comparison, find
hat The JOURNAL contains from four to
i've columns more reading matter each
week than the Herald. Again, the col
amns of The JOURNAL are wider and set
in much smaller type. How "lofty
then is the Herald!
One word in explanation of "our bid,
and we have done. We were notified to
put in bids for the whole of the county
job work and all,
which we did. When the bids were
opened, the Herald man had bid only on
he job work, not mentioning the advcr-
Using. Notwithstanding our bid on the
after, which was the only bid in, and of
course the lowest, the Herald was award
ID the whole of the county printing.
Hence we think VIC were entitled to that
part of it, Notwithstanding the huge pro-
portions of the editor of the Herald, his
argc paper, extensive circulation and
md all his "heftiness."
