hope that the fellow will pay up, and
then has paper returned to him some
fine day, with the words. "GOne to a het-
ter land" written ON the margin, he
may get mad, but he don't take much
stock in the statement. = Warren Mir

The Otsego Co. Herald says: THE
Herald Office has been turning ont
some very fine job-work for Crawford
County parties" In whose estimationY
IL we were the Herald man, we would
give some one else the chance of blow
ing the bugle occasionally. We are of
the opinion his trumpet will not last
much longer without it gets rest.
Give the other fellows chance, and
yourself rest.

The Otseao Independent says: "We
are not surprised to see the black
guard, who Is more distinguished in
that capacity than ms editor of the OF
sego Co. Herald, still following the
bent of his natural genius; but we
have known editors who were gentle
men, and believe he is not worthy the |
patronage of any element of society
who attempts to fill such a position
and is found wanting in this respect"
Who would of thought it9 In this
locality Mack is considered gentle
and christian if he is a little |
inclined to be rather windy when ex-
patiating on the merits of the Herald
and his proficiency as a job printer.
