The Advance gets the county print
ing "as usual" 50 it says. Well, it is
welcome to it. Our bid WAS one third
legal rates for all official matters, ex-
cepting the tax list, and Miller's must
of course been under that, 50 that he
gets little or nothing except the glory
for his work, and less than One-third of
the tax payers would ever see What our
county dads did with their money if
the Guardian did not give the other
two. thirds their proceedings gratis
Adrian Guardian.
This is according to the 'titness of
things" The ADVANCE is tho only
paper of general circulation in the
county. 1t is the old, established pa
per, and the only paper which pretends
to give the county news, or to make q
record for the county. You have a
good circulation in the west end, but
you are a local paper merely. and have
scarcely any circulation in the east
end.
