Sir. Spurgeon is of the opinion
that when people, particularly preachers,
have nothing important to say, they
take a long time about it, but when
they have something worth telling they
tout with it at ence." 1t was Dr..
Chalmers, who, on being asked how
long it took to make sermon, replied:
That depends upon how long you
want it. II your sermon is to be half
an hour long, it will take you three
days. If it is to be three quarters Of
an hour, it may take you two days. or
perhaps only one; but if you are going
to preach for an hour, why there is not
much occasion TO think a great deal
about it. 1t may be done in an hour"

The editor VI the Herald, in the last issue Of
his paper, endeavors to defend the act Of the
present board Of commissioners in raising the
salary Of the Keraifs hcnchnan. the county
attorney. This editor quotes the action of the
old board a precedent towards giving legal
grounds for u c late action of the new board in
the matter. Why does not this =. Trut full Ben
jamin AS lie claims to be-tell all the facts in
regard to the action of the old board. and not
a. wheedling. try to make the acts Of two
boards analogous. The old board raised the
salary of the county attorney to $1,000. when
Mcpherson and Lincoln counties were attached
to this county for judicial purposes. 1t was
then estimated that the three counties together
contained about Z 900 inhabitants. the county
attorney of this county acting rs attorney for
them all. Afterwards. when Mcpherson and
Lincol, counties were detached from Saline
salary to $500, being fully convinced that the
county Of Saline did not contain 1000 inhabi-
tants. The county attorney favored with the
old commissioners repeatedly afterwards. even
less than month ago. to have them again raise
his salary, which they refused to do. This Is
what the old board did. The population Of
Saline county in the summer Of 1870 was 1 log.
DO our citizens believe that our population has
increased to 1000, since then: The editor OF
the Herald seems to think so; or, at least. some
one thinks SO for him. + ,c trouble with him
is, he mast think so. The editor seems to have
very good opinion Of the county attorney.
There also are many others who do not. The
editor says We wanted to ritchfnto somchady
iasf week. We confess we are always ady to
pitch into any one who has done wrong. be he
"a friend or foe. We are not afraid to speak
our mind upon any subject. even if we lose
money and patronage by it. Can the doughty
editor Of the Herald say the same:
