Henry county through the disparagine ar
ticles of certain home newspapers during
campaigns, is tnisiudged by neighborinR
ones. Its land is not muck; its timber NOT
.bass-wood; Its people brigands, nor the
party in power pirates.
The county to begin with has soil that
cannot be excelled for fertility; Its woodland
is composed of a variety OF timber which for
value can be found in but few sections; the
whole county is under q system, of drainage
that enables the farmer 10 tax the land TO its
utmost capacity in crops of all kinds. The
county, to be sure, has been under Demo
cratic administration from time immemorial
and will always be 80. This is the only
vulnerable point of attack for the tarantulas
Of Wood county, and should the condition of
the two counties be justly compared Henry
county will be found TO be twenty years
ahead Of her neighbor in improvements.

are in better condition than the city. The
rural districts Of Wood county are but few
years beyond the primaeval state, in compar-
ison. The cause Of this is a astereotyped hab-

But for peculiar combine keeping pace
with the times for Rroteequeness, but hardly
in size, there is one to be found in Wood
county. This county Of gas, oil and defunct
politicians was sometime ago afflicted with
two newspapers under the respective names
OF Sentinel, manipulated by one Brewer, and
the Gazette abused by another Rudulph. Now
these papers for years had been firing canis-
canister, grape-shot, chain shot and nails at
each other. much harm being done on each side
but not from the direct effect of the enemy's
shot but from the reaction of his own piece.
They were fast committing suicide and they
knew it and the people knew it, Their fifth
wind sagacity came to the rescue and COM
bine was made. Brewer is scrawny and
tricky-Rudulph is fat and Of Pinafore dis
position with his heart in his vest pocket--but
at heart knaye. why not marry these two
dispositions which fate certainly made to be
pigeontailed2" Quoth local Republicans,
and a union was brought about, the paper
ever since sailing under the flag of Sentinel
Gazette; neither does mutiny exist in any
form. This harmony is broughtabout in this
wise: Il have often heard 'in this wise"
used without knowing its meaning but be-
lieve by comparison that 1t fits in here with q
kid glove smoothness). Rudulph button
holes his friends and confidently informs
them that Brewer is h-l of a mana logi-
cian-a modern ARISTOTLE. Vice versa. Bre-
wer closets himself with his friends and
and showers ecomiums on the massive brow
aid surfeit OF avordupois, belonging to
Rudolph. "He Is in every sense q thorough
newspaper man; why, that fellow could go to
city and command $1,000 per snum. His
peculiar vein of originality is rare, besides
he's deep, tell you RuduIph is gem of the
first water" The effect Of such eulogiums
on the patrons is pitiful, They are kept
busy appreciating the presence Of such q
brace Of ponderous intellects. And IN this
they are not unlike the subjects of certain
feudal king who were compelled to see on
the person of their monarch an elegant cos
tune when in reality his majesty was naked,
having been made the dupe of several willy
weavers who claimed, the cloth was of such
fine texture that was invisible to him who
was above his real station.

This worthy pair don't like Napoleon.
They don't like Henry county. They don't
like the people who hail from these localities.
Nothing can come from their quilts too

love or again nothing but jealously.

Removed.

The TELEGRAPH COURIER has removed
to its new building on the corner of Main,
Park and South streets. The site of the
building is what wasin early times known
as Church lot occupied later by the Quar-
les Law Office. The Office, job and compos-
ing rooms in the new building are on the
first floor and the press rooms in the base
ment. The two floors devoted to the
TELEGRAPH COURIER contain more than
double the room in the old Office. This
extra room was necessitated by the pur-
chase of two cylinder presses which were
put In to handle the run of book and
pamphlet work which has struck the Of
fee. This makes the outfit consist of
four presses, one small o. s. Gordon job
Der, one large Peerless jobber, one Pony
Potter cylinder and one large Potter news
paper press with power enough to drive
them to their maximum speed. The cyl
inder press in use in the other Office has
been traded to Chicago firm and the
whole proceeds put into new type, cabi-
nets, and other printers material. The
TBLEGRAPH-Co COURIER is equipped to han
die job printing Of any kind from visit
ing card to book Of any size and do it
rapidly and satisfactorily. 1t has been
the aim Of the publisher to put in a plant
in Kenosha which would make it wholly
unnecessary to take printing of any kind
out of town to have it done and to have
such plant as would enable him to COM
pete successfully with Chicago and Mil
waukee printing houses. This has been
accomplished as shown by the work of
the Office. Over two-thirds of the work
turned out Of this Office the past four
months has been for Chicago and other
outside parties, the balance has been
home trade. One great advantage of
having plant Of this size is the ability
to handle aoork rapidly and delioer 1t quick
M. This we have as demonstrated by the
volume of business done. We are on the
ground door and propose to do business
on that basis.
