est of the taxpayers and citizens of the
county, and reduce if possible, the cost on
enforcing the States lien for back taxes,
/ hereby give notice that Will re-
ceive sealed bids for the orders OF publica-
ton and notice of sale, on all suits to enforce
the states lien for back taxes, until July
18th, 1891, 90 O'Clock A. NJ for period of
one year from this date. Said sealed bids to
be certain sum per square fer first lnser-
ton and a certain sum per square for each
subsequent insertion of said orders OF publ1-
cation and notices of sale. And the success
full bidder or bidders will be required to
furnish abstracts of title on all lands which
suit is brought for the collection OF all back
taxes TO enforce the states lien, also, blank
tax bills and petitions for same, free OF
charge.
This is a most remarkable "notice.'
Collector Newton has no more legal
authority to say who shall print the
orders of publication in delinquent tax
suits in Reynolds county than has the
Mikado of Japan. He here usurps the
functions of the clerk and sheriff. The
collector is merely a plaintiff to the
suit, and the legal authority to say
who shall print the orders Of publlca-
ton in vacation rests solely and alone
with the clerk of the circuit court.
AS to the sheriff7s sales, the sheriff has
the right to place them. Then, again,
by what law or statute does Collector
Newton take it on himself to say "the
successful bidder or bidders will be
required to furnish abstracts Of title
on all lands which suit is brought fol
the collection of all back taxes, also
blank tax bills, land petitions for same
free of charger" He has no more right
to require these services and supplies
free of charge from the printer thar
he would have authority to require
that every suit should bring all taxes
and costs; or that the printer shall
furnish pens, ink, pencils, stationery
room-rent, firewood, ice-in fact, ev
erything tending to the welfare anc
comfort of the officials while engaged
in bringing the suits. Suppose
though, Mr.. Newton was right in this
authority he has taken on himself
Say he had contracted with the print
or for a hundred back tax suits. One
hundred orders of publication hao
been printed; in twenty-five of these
cases the defendants appear in court
and knock out the suits against them
Would Mr.. Newton "put up" the
printers fees in those cases? No, OF
course he wouldn't, but if the printer
had contract he could force him tc
do so. The position of the collector
throughout is a most ridiculous ano
untenable one; he has endeavored tx
usurp the powers of the county court
the circuit clerk and the sheriff, anC
in addition to this virtually asks thu
} printer to go into a combine" Ano
yet the Reforner refers to the collect
or's ''notice" as the fair and honorable
way to do business. If we were run
ming the Outlook over there we would
laugh in our sleeve at all contracts TO
, printing the other paper secured un
der such bidding and such terms
providing, we stood in with the clerl
and the sheriff.

In another column will be found a
letter from Hon. l.. V. Stephens, State
Treasurer, in relation to a matter we
called attention to last week. Mr..
Stephens, it seems, agrees with us and
does not think it right that county
officials should have to pay exchange
on checks issued from the Treasurer's
office in payment of State costs. Mr..
Stephens is careful and painstaking
official and we were satisfied that the
matter need merely be called to his
attention to receive prompt and
proper adjudication.

Fortunately there are several species
of parasites that help to keep this in
sect in check. In young orchards the
larval cases are easily picked off dur
ing winter. They may then be burned
or. what is probably better, carried to
a considera bic distance from their food
plants and left on the ground, thus al
lowing the parasites to develop and es-
cape. The leaf-crumpler Larvae are also
liable to destruction by spraying with
paris green or London purple, and may
easily be held in check in this way. In
orchards regularly sprayed for the cod
lin moth this, as well as other leaf eat
ing apple pests, will rarely prove
troublesome. Not only should all the
larval cases possible be picked off dur
ing winter, but spraying should be
commenced early also. The larvae are
more easily and profitably destroyed
while young and tender, and before
they have done much damage to the
leaves and flower buds. One great rea-
son why fruit growers often fail to
keep insect as well as fungus enemies
in check is because they neglect the
spraying until the harm is done

gamblers were in full possession of the

surrounding the tables where the Mex
lean game of monte" and other So
called banking games were in full
blast. These We're the first and
most conspicuous features of the
scene. The mercantile establish
ments were thronged with men
fitting out for ''the diggings." Activity
prevailed everywhere, occasioned main
ly by the innumerable expeditions and
squads of men about to depart for the
mining region. For aside from the
gambling fraternity and the compare
lively few older and wiser heads who
saw a safer and more profitable field OF
operations in the opportunities which
existed for trade and speculation in
San Francisco, the heart of the null
titude was set upon gold-digging, the
making of a pile''-in the parlance
of the day-and a quick return to
the old home again. Indeed, it may be
safely estimated that ninety-fve per
cent. of the Forty who had
then arrived, and were still arriving, in
California were animated by this senti-
ment. For at that time the country,

fence on the outskirts of East New

the small man glided up to him, plucked
him timidly by the coat and said:

you mind doing me favor?'
Not at all; would-be happy to-" The
small man took him by the arm and led
him over to the fence.
