IA KINDLY PROPOSITION"

The INDEPENDENT pleads guilty
to the charge in the presentment.
It offers to "do job work as cheap
as it can be done in Baltimore or
other cities, freight added. And
right proud are we of the ability
to make the offer. We 60 farther.
We stand by the Herald and
Statesman and say, that with three
printing offices in town, job work,
either of the merchants, banks or cit
liens of the county, should be done
here. We are not dogs in the man
ger, and if the publishers of these
papers cannot or do not desire to
thus compete with other cities,
they should be glad to have in
their midst one office willing to
duplicate in work and price that
of any job Office in Baltimore or
other cities. Any work of this
kind you can't stand up to and get
through with, neighbors, send it
to the INDEPENDENT. We will per-
form the contract in every detail.
