Both the editors of the Columbian aud the
Republican some time since tried TO take a
good bit of credit for economy to tax pay
ers by cheap letting inicourt calendars. AS
they are both on the school board now We
will see whether they will apply the same
rule to advertising the school statement
consistency is a jewel Try the lowest
bidders once. Try it. Sentinel Mly 80.
The school board having awarded the
printing of the statement to the Sentinel and
Republican, without bids, we presume
Krickbaum now cares very little about
economy to tax payers. II he has the
least spark Of the jewel of consistency he
will call the attention of his readers to the
fact that the only printing the County Com
missioners let to the lowest bidders was
the Court Calendar and the COLUMBIAN was
nearly one-third lower than the SsntiaeL II
Krickbaum is sincere let him urge upon
the County Commissioners TO put all their
printing, blanks and stationery, to the low
est bidder Let him call the attention of the
County Commissioners in his next issue
that they are losing au opportunity of eco
nomy to the tax payers.

An interesting game OF base ball was
played at Athletic PARK Saturday last be-
tween the Danvile club aud Bloomsbury.
The Danvlle club came up here with the
best players they could gather for the oc-
casion, and evidently intended to shut out
the home team. In the first inning the
Danville team scored four runs, three Of
which were obtained on account Of wild
throws, this put chill on the game from
the start After the first Inning there was
good playing done by both sides, and
everybody acknowledged 1t as nice game
as has been played upon the grounds.
The following is the score in full,

All business men do it. For explanation
inquire OF the late nominee for Register.
1t is something singular, fourteen or
more in the family, Corey thrown In be-
sides all their ramifcations, then they
merely counted a majority for Pet Sterner,
the gazetteer Of the barns, sheds, hog-pens
and woods, over poor lonely Bill Jacoby.
Now what are they going to do: And what
have they got2 Let the land owners, busi
ness men and property holders in the
county answer. Bill Jacoby was no boun-
ty soldier. Locked his office, served his
time, honorably discharged, and home to
fight another day. What's the matter with
you: Are you hard up.
Pet Sterner the candidate for Register
for this County seems terribly exercised
lest he should have opposition at the polls
from some Independent quarter. He has
reason to entertain such fear, knowing, as
he does, that nine-tenths of the Democracy
scorn the idea Of voting for such a thing as
himself. He knows too that the people
did not desire his nomination, as they re-
garded him totally unfit to fill the office,
being vain, biggoted, puguacous; qualifi-
cations more suitable to a person about to
enter an asylum than the Registers office.
The Democrats need not vote for him, but act
as in the case Of John Il. Yobe, when they
elected L. .. Monroe and everybody was
satisfied. Yohe was just as fit as Sterner.
They will remember when they scratched
the ticket and defeated J X. Millard for
Sheriff and elected Aaron Smith, every
body were Democrats and still the party
survived. Two years ago the party did
the same thing by electing Ent, who is
making good officer, still the party polled
its heaviest vote last fall for Hancock!

man, your choice, is not boiling the ticket
