ty affairs, why not continue the good
work For example, the retrench-
ment made by our worthy County
Court in way of the doctoring of the
poor in the different districts by sell
ing them out to the lowest bidder has
saved hundreds of dollars. Now why
not carry this still farther -? Say, sell
out the making up Of the land books;
! freely confess | think on this one
item $3.50 can be saved. / have heard
parties, who claim TO know, say that
they are willing to make the land
books out for $50, whereas 5000 is
now paid for this work
saw to-day n printed advertise
ment TO physicians from the clerk of
the County Court asking for bids for
doctoring. Now, presume the bill
for printing them for two or three
years would pay for a copying press
and here would be place TO retrench.
In fact there are many other ways
we will not speak of now. We are
not speaking in a faultfnding way
but we are trying to have the way 50

County Court will not have such hard
