Last month the commissioners of Lin

publishers of newspapers in that county
upon the subject of type measurement,
the commissioners assuming that they
knew more about typographical matters
than those who had "iesrned the trade. y
In consequence of this disagreement all
the newspaper nsn OF Lincoln county
united in refusing to publish the com.
missioners' proceedings, as the law re-
quizes. This was where the long suffer-
