The Titus boys are said to be the
most winning sewing machine ped
dlers in the State. Some other fellow
with another machine has been trying
to work up business against them, and
at first it was "Titus and Popcorn" but
now the other fellow is nowhere.
We can't understand why our paper
should be delayed between here and
Corvallis for two or three days. Last
week the package Of DEMOCRATS didn't
get there until three days after publ
cation. Of course there are some just
complaints made by our subscribers.
Mary had little lamb,
| With which she used to tusslei gis
She snatched the wool clean off its back
And put it in her hustle.
|
He in a passion flew,
So Mary got upon her ear,
And stuffed the lamb in too,
Rev. Jos. Emery requests us to say
for him, as one of the Corvallis guests
at our Fourth, that he does not en-
dorse the TRADE of the Benton Demo
crdt against the conduct ofour citizens
but states that himself and family were
most Hospitality treated on that occa-
sion. s4 tt4,t-
4 Jno. Gilliland, of the w. V, & G.
NJ. W. r. tollgate, was in the city
Tuesday. He says the road over the
mountains is fast improving, and
teams now experience very little
difficulty in crossing. Numerous
teams are already daily passing over
the road. a,.
We are informed that all the sub
scribers to the Benton Democrat who
reside in this city have discontinued
their subscription to that paper in con
sequence of its abuse of this communi-
: ty in regard to thelate celebration. The
list numbers "a names. We very much
regret that the conduct of that paper
, in this regard has created so much bit
. ter feeling between citizens of almost
one common neighborhood.
e Every day somebody asks us for
a free puff, or send-oft of some sort for
themselves or their business. With
: as much impunity we might ask the
l merchant to give US pound of sugar
or the butcher to give us a beef steak.
: Gentlemen, such things as those don't
r scour with us.u 1t costs cash to run a
newspaper as well as any other busi-
n ness, and you want q notice that only
h interests you or enhances your busi-
ness we expect you to pay for it.
