The Lake County star., 1877-11-15

seems to be pretty well posted; made
the remark to friend Of ours, few
days since, that "the newspaper was
feared more than the administration OF
law In Lake csunty!" What kind OF
An idea do they have Of Lake county,
outaide, anyway? Ought not that pa
per to be "squelcled;" so as to give the
law chance? Yea, verify! It's "re-
pugnantv' "REPU0NANT!" "REPUG-
NANT!!W "That's the word to apply
to that paper. Ugh! Whew! It's
worse than dose Of quinine, to swal-
low the bitter pills 1t gives US! Let's
hang another efiigy-two efiigics-a
half dozen of 'em! Let's tell every
body what great liar that editor Is!
Let's write him up, and show the peo-
pie how false his stories are! No! hold
ON! we can't do that! He's got us tight
on our own records and letters! Let's
bull-doze majority Of the Board OF
Supervisors into taking the work OF
printing away from the home paper,
and giving 1t to those poor(?) printers
in Kalamazoo and Detrsit! II disfg-
ures our noses to spite our faces; but
then, something must be done. What
shall we do? If tho dear Innocent pco-
pie should vote us out of officc-ah!
think of 1t, my heroes! No more little
jobs and big taxes to pay for them; but
,Uork (how our souls shudder ut thought
Of it), or starve would then be our por-
ton! t's!-let's!-o-o-oh! somebody
hold us or we'll certainly bust, and rid
the county Of our rottenness!" And SO
the battle RACES. Night and day the
plotting goes ON against "that paper"
and, Of course, that ''repugnant" editor
must keep q supply of red hot shot oil
hand to send into the Shiny, crawling
mass, occasionally, or the fight would
be one-sided.
"Peace is despaired,
For who can think submissloil! War, then,
War, open or understood, must be resolved"
Last weeks Outline says: AT about
half past 8 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, the fiues of the boiler at Christ
mans shingle mill, in Hersey, col
lapsed, blowing out the front and scala-
ing the engineer, Elson Sherman, 70
terribly that he lived only few hours.
DIR. Wood attended him, but could on
ly alleviate the patients sufferings
with opiates. Mr.. Sherman WAS from
Cattaraugis Co., New York. He
leaves wife and three children. The
damage to the mill Is about $500 be-
sides loss Of time"
Take look at the prospectuses OF
! lScriJncr's .Nonttiy and 81. Nicholas, to
be seen IN another part of this paper.
In making up your list OF periodicals
for 1878 you might look farther and
fare worse than to choose one or both.
The children want 81. Nicholas, and
the older heads want the monthly. 1t
Is comfort; it is profitable; 1t is good
economy to have your family table
well stocked with reading matter Of
proper variety.
