A CHANCE TO GET THE BEST DEMOCRATIC
PAPER IN THE COUNTRY.

The New York World is acknowledged
to be the leading Democratic paper in the
United States. Everybody ought to take q
city paper in addition to a local one. We
have made arrangements with the Weekly
World to club with the COLUMBIAN.
price of the Weekly World is $1.0O. On
receipt of $2.20 we will send the two pa
pers to any address in the county, for one
year. Clubs of five persons at one post Of
flee can get them for $1,000 If ordered at
one time. This is very liberal offer, and
is made for the purpose of extending our
circulation and not because there is any
money in It,
We do not believe in the chrome bust
ness. All the county newspapers are pub
lished at rates so low that the margin oi
profit is very small, and unless all subscri
bers pay up, the loss is nearly equal to the
profits. We consider that our readers gel
the full worth of their money out of this
paper at $1.5O year, and we cannot at
ford to give every subscriber gold watch
or piano, at that price. But we will dc
this Every subscriber who will pay up
all arrearages and one year in advance will
receive for one year, Good Cheer, monthly
paper devoted to the interests Of home and
family, and containing much valuable
reading matter. A sample copy can b'
seen at this office. This offer will stant
only for limited time, and all who wisl
to get $500 worth for $1.50, should attent
to it at once.

commissioners Appointments

The new board of county commissioners,
Messrs. Pohe, Parr and Mendenhal, took
possession of their Office on Monday morn.
ing last There was large attendance of
applicants for the cerkship, and their
friends, and the commissioners were sub
jected to large amount of pressure on
every side, to induce them to appoint this
one or that one. There were twenty-three
applicants for the place, but number of
them made no effort to secure the appoint
ment beyond sending in their names. The
real contest was between j. d. Bodine, A,
F., Terwilliger, j. B. Casey, w. Krickbaum,
G. A Herring, NJ. F. Eyerly, w. B. Allen,
and F. B. Hartman. At the first session
on Monday no result was reached, but or
Tuesday the suspense was ended by the
selection of J. b. Casey for clerk, E. r.
Ikeler was appointed solicitor, and w. w.
Barrett, Janitor. For the latter place there
were four applicants. 1t was difficult thing
for the commissioners to make a selection
from so many, most OF whom were wei
qualified for the clerkship. Mr.. Casey has
filled the position for six years, and thor
oughly understands the work of the office
His retention was probably the best thing
the commissioners could do, under the cir
cumstances.
