We wish, tn say, in, regard to the dis
cussion Of the question of assessing
4 collecting and disbursing taxes in ou
county, fiat while we give the gratuI
!, ts.ls use Of our columns to the settlers
! we do not intend to admit privat
I or personal controversy. Criticism O
Just censure Of the public acts of officer
cannot he construed into personal at
tack, and 50, Of course, there arises n
, occasion for personality OIL either side
No article, on either side, will rcacl
: publication In these columns, If w,
owit to be unjust or untrue. w,
have an unquestionable right to pub
, lisl the public acts of officers. we in
tend to do it whenever, in our opinion

from what we consider a right if moi
5 duty. Ii tue majority of our citizens
persist in countenancing illegality and
fraud plainly proven, bare-faced eva
sion of law, and the train of evil results
sure to- follow, 1t is their blame and not
ours; for we here again repeat ourpro-
test. we know we have justice and
right en- our side, and the conscious
hess makes us stand firmly. We say
this, that any one interested may not
be disappointed In bringing communi-
cations for publication, by refusal OH
our part to publish them. aal
TO some of our settlers who do not
understand 1t, we wish to say that we
do not exact cash In payment for our
paper In every instance. Farm pro-
duce always has been, is, and will be
acceptable OH subscription. We came
into the county with the expectation
of sharing the hard knocks with you.
We realize that money Is scarce, and
that "dicker", oft becomes necessary.
So, those Of you who want the home
paper, bring ON the potatoes, wheat,
beans, &c, and we assure you hearty
reception. .',e.,'..ri .-e-... 'g
