The following we clip from the
Black Range:
1.-The promptnes, with which busi.
ness is conducted in the office of the
probate clerk uuder the management
of J. NJ. Webster and his efficient
dupty s. Alexander, excites univer-
sal comment. Papers sent to that Of
flee for record are copied promptly
and returned without delay. Such
methods of business are appreciated
by the people.
II is only speaking words Of truth,
and shows how much the men are
appreciated for their promptness in
discharging their Official duties. We
predict that Mr.. Webster will stand
fair chance of being elected for the
second term, and no better material
can be found for the honorable po-
sition than the gentleman just men
toned. Should the people see fit to
place him once more in the position
he now holds, we are in favor Of Mr.
Alexa.sder acting as his deputy, as
no bytter and more faithful servant
caufbe found west of the Mississippi.
To all those who wish to invest in
I'reslestate or cattle there can he no
better county in the territory than
the young and thriving county Of
Sierra. 1t Is here that the citizens
believe in furnishing the "rustlor" for
taking what does not belong TO him.
1t is here that the poor man has just
the same protection that the rich
man has. 1t is here the people be.
lieve thft mans COW or horse
ought TO receive the same protection
upon the broad prairies and valleys
that God has seen fit to give to man
as his own, and we can truly say that
when 'rustler" is once brought be-
fore The grand and petite jurors OF
Sierra county. and he il proven to be
guilty of ''rustling" he will fud a
home provided for him behind the
bars of the territorial penitentiary.
Come all We that wish t. find homes,
happiness, health, good neighbors,
