again representing the county ofK

year 1866, and will do its utmost d

them full value received in all classes on
work. Messrs. William NJ. Price and Eli
wyn H. G, Smith, who voted for the
Herald, will need have no fault TO find
with US in our endeavor to give thorough
satisfaction, and the honor theyoonfe nferred
in their votes we will try to repay III
giving them work that in the end will
save money to the county They haya
acted on the principle so lucidly por.
traycd in open court by Judge Francis,
that there is such a thing as false econ.
omy, and that cheap article will prove
the dearest in the cnd.-[Steele Herald.
We desire to congratulate Brother Brit
ton on the simple act Of justice done him
by the Kidder County Board. The Her.
aid is an able paper, and has done much
good. hard work for Steele and Kidder
county. We have noted the controversy
between the Herald and its rival, the
Ozone, and have seen no cause for the
venom and scurrility of the latter's at
tacks. Why, in one issue. the Ozone
man accused the Herald editor of making
his wife get up and build the fire when
the mercury registered 40 below. This
was silly charge from three reasons:
First, because everybody knows that the
mercury in Dakota thermometers never
gets down to within 80 degrees of the
point named; second, because Dako-
Ia EDITORS wife won't get up and build
the fire on cold mornings, as we have
learned through experience; third, be-
cause Brother Britton still retains his
hair. The Ozone man is mayor and
postmaster of Steele. We are glad that
he estoppcd in his effort to grasp the
world
