LOUIS STANGER,
j. b. CADWALLABER,
). Z. NIRDEN.

With view to extending the circulation
of TAG CLARION, and of giving our job
printers steady employment, we have
placed an agent in the field, Mr.. B. +. Car
rol, practical newspaper man. Notwith-
standing the stringency of the times he has
met with fair success but it appears that he,
and the establishment he represents, have
incurred The displeasure Of some of our
press brethren at points that he has can
vassed. Tnis we regret, and we shall en-
deavor to arrest the cause OF complaint at
these and other places. The objection urged
is that IHE CLARION is thus competing with
local offices, and soliciting orders for mis-
cellAneous printing that have heretofore
been executed by them. This is certainly
no. our wish, for it has always been cur
opinion that the home paper should enjoy
the home patronage. We have never APP
preelated the reasons why business man
in Jackson should have his printing done
in Boston or St. Louis, and, were we pub
fishing the Central Star, would not be able
to see the point in a KOsciuskO merchant
having his printing done in jackson. There
is a class of printing and binding, how
ever, which the local offices throughout the
State, either have not the facilities for doing,
or have not been able to control, and OF
which St. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville and
Nashville seemed to enjoy a monopoly
Many merchants contend that it is their
privilege to buy their letter-heads as they
buy their boots-where they can get them
cheapest; and many OF our county officials
insist chat so long as they are required to
furnish their own stationary out of their
fees, it is their privilege to buy blanks
where they can get them on the best terms.
We happen to know that establishments in
Nashville and st. Louis keep many printers
employed in doing work for Mississippi In
order to keep this class of work at home, we
have authorized our agent to say that we
will duplicate any invoice from any estab- |
lishment in the country. There may be no |
money in it, but what little there is will be |
paid to our home printers. But we assure |
our press brethren that it is not our wish |
to receive business which properly belongs |
to them. All we ask is that our agent shall |
have an equal showing with drummers |
from Nashville and St. Louis, who make |
their semi-annual tours through NJ ississippi, |
and who are literally patronzed by county |
officials, merchants aud others. We will see |
to it hat our agent shall only canvass for
subscriptions to The CLARION, and for such |
work as cannot be done by the local offices
in towns where there is a Democratic or
Conservative paper, in future.

the statements in the following, which aD-
peared in the kosciusko Star. Our first in
tention WAS not TO refer to them at all but
as we see them reiterated in the Carrolton
Conservative, we have concluded to do so
"Mr. b. f. Carroll, representing the Jack
son CLARION, paid us n visit on last Satur-
day. We round Mr.. Carroll an affable gen
tleman, and quite enthusiastic in the inter-
est of his vocation. While it is perfectly le-
gitimate, yet we cannot but think thot our
Capitol contemporary is little greedy. He
is State printer, and does all the printing for
the Masonic and Odd Fellow fraternities
and, with all this, he seems not to be salts
fled, but must needs drum the officers. even
in counties where there are Democratic pa
pers, for the sale of blanks. We submit it,
is this generous? w will say to our officers
and all others desiring blandks, that we will
furnish them just as cheap as THE CLARION"
The facts are, we do not do all the Mason
ic and Odd Fellows work. We have not had
the Masonic printing but once since 1873

In 1878 the work, in the same manner. was
assigned to us. L. Power ard Harris

some other Odd Fellow who is prepared to
do the work will get it, ard the length Of
time before it comes to The CLARION Office
again depends entirely upon the number of
Odd Fellows in the State who are prepared
to do such work. These are the facts in the
case, and We trust the Star and the Conser-
vative will make the correction. Elsewhere
we have attempted to put TIE CLARION
right before our brethren of the press, a
to our reasons for employing an agent and
what we expect of him.
