We have sometimes been asked by men
who never advertise dollar with us why
we do not give them local about this or
that thing citing instances where we have
noticed some advertising opponent OF
theirs. Business is business. II our
columns arc not worth paying for, they
would not work any benefit as a gift. The
man who advcrtises is entitled to occa-
sional free notices in our columns, which
the man who never advertises has no
claims to. We are always willing to work
for the good Of the city, county and State,
but do not consider that there is anything
in that duty that requires US to give our
columns to men who do not patronize us,
any more than the same desire on the part
of the merchant would require him to
give Always his goods and wares.-Oska-

AT q special meeting Of Independent
Dist. No l, at Pleasant Run School House
in Toledo Township, certain member
Of the Board was applicant for the posi-
ton of teacher. Another member op-
posed his claims and would not sign his
contract, wnereupon the whilom School
master "got up on his ear" and proceeded
to "bust the eye" of his opponent who
was an inoflensive quiet citizen, and
almost succeeded in quitting head on
him." which was all very naughty in the
aforesaid school master. The member
who was thus maltreatcd and abused, in
order to avoid any further unplcasantness,
resigned his position.
