M'GREGOR's $4,000 LIBEL SUIT.
Suit has been brought in The Circuit
Court at Cleveland by R. G. Dun & Co.,
of the Commercial Agency, against Nc
Gregor of the Stark County Democrat,
for libel. The amount claimed is $50.
900. The alleged libelous matter was
contained in articles appearing in several
issues of the Democrat on the Fessler
compromise, which were in reply to con-
tributions of J. ]. Clark in the Reposi.
tory, under the signature of Taxpayer"
Clark is the repnted agent of Dun & Co.,
and they have conceived the idea that
the Democrats severe handling of their
representative has injured them to the
extent of "half hundred best United
States documents"
Il is just such petty annoyances as are
embodied in this case which discourage
the publisher Of q country newspaper.
By strict attention TO business, industry,
economy, perseverance and fair dealing
with his patrons, almost all "rural roost.
ers"-as Halstead designates them-Can
in few years have a credit in the bank
Of three or four hundred thousand dol
lars. But his prosperity is noted. and
along comes some aggrieved Dun & Co.,
who relieves him of the earnings of la.
borand brain. Mac. you have the sym.
pathy of the Massillon American, and
with it little advice Offer them $40.
900 as compromise, and if refused, pay
them the sum demanded. For triAe
like that it is certainly better to dispose
of it at once that the required rest Of a
journalist may not be affected. You
could replace the amount 10 few weeks
by starting daily.-AasS american.

R.G. Dun & Co., of New York, the
commercial agency firm, has brought
slit in the U. s. Circuit Court against A.
&W. McGreeor of the Stark Co. Demo.
crat for $50 900, the plaintiffs allege that
they have been greatly damaged in their
business by an article which appeared
in the Democrat of March 2Oth, 1879
wherein they were called some harsh
names, and wrongly accused, as they
claim KoungStOaUn Evening NewS.
The NewS should know that it is the
Dun & Co., agent here who is really the
aggrieved party, and smarts under the
lash he himself provoked. He was the
first to assail (; and mighty champion
he is, "ferce as ten furies, terrible as
hell n . .WtE3
That he is regular Goliah is evident
since he has induced Dun & Co., to com.
meuce suit. He don't bring it himself
