The Reason Why.

A few days ago n friend remarked to us that
he thought we were somewhat partial in our
notices of new firms, and mentioned an in
stance that caused him to think so, saying at
tho same time that other persons thought as he
dill about the matter.
We have always tried 10 deal just and fair
with our patrons, and think We have done more
(rec ddre,tsing than any other country paper in
the State but, like other mortals we are not
infallibls, and may, occasionally, fail in our
duty.
The columns Of our paper, when called on
for the benefit of other individuals, are, like
the goods in merchants store, for sale-not
by the yard, pound or iece, its true, but
at much per square. 1t is from
that source nlone that our profits come.
The subscription list does not pay the expenses
of publication. IL a notice in our columns is
worth anything to O merchant or any other
business man, it is worth the small amount VIC
charge for it. What would o merchant think
calico, or O paper Of pins, or a box of matches
lie would most assuredly tell ms, and properly,
too, al have those articles for saie not to CIR,
| dwdy'
But we are often told, by those who know or
| think nothing about our business, "it costs you
nothing, it helps to fill up your columns" 1t
costs us nothing ell You might, with ~ good
| grace, tell the merchant that, as he has the
| goods in his store and the clerks to hand them
out it would cost him nothing if lie gave
small portion Of them away. Every sheet OF
paper we use costs us money, wepsy our print
ers to set the type and print the PAPER, we have
to pay rent, taxes, Sc, like every other bust
ness man, besides, it costs us = little labor tC
| write such notices and it does seem little
unreasonable for n man who has such low
estimate Of advertising that he will not pay fol
advertising his business, to complain Of us fol
not giving him flaming notice, free.
We think it would be very unjust to those
who do advertise literally, if we volunteered
our services in the paper to invite business. tc
those who 90 not patronize us.

pfA- While our people are excited to demand
"rctrenchmcnt and reform in the State govern
nent, we would invite them to investigate some
OF tho County c1pcnscs-and particularly in
the matter of constable's costs. II is not un-
common to find bill of from $40 to 800 for
constable costs for month presented to the
County Commissioners. While we hear great
deal about the expenses of settling up estates,
we should not forget that it has c",t the county
$50 for trying negro for stealing hoe worth
81 80 and VIC hear Of one case not long ago,
in which constable had subpTnas placed in
his hands for three or four Witnesses living
within half mile of each other, but the con-
stable charged full mileage, from the Trial Jus
tees office, for each witness. That may be
good law, but it's practice is very expensive to
the people. The amount paid last year, i'll
L Inion County, for constable services. was over
500.
