We give up much of our valuable

this week to the Commissioners Re-
port. 1t is high priced matter and
has preference. 1t pays us to print
it. 1t pays the subscriber to read
it. The report is not given in de-
tail as most counties give it. We
follow copy, and print just what
we are given to print, and have
nothing more to say about it.

confidence and mutual help will
go hand in hand IN Logan's path of
prosperity.
Last Friday show came to town.
1t gave its advertising to the lowest
bidder; a page OF it; rule and figure
work, double loaded, ard triple
headed. 1t occupied more space
than a merchants Holiday Greeting
or an officials report. 1t was a
picture gallery of CRIME, conyicts
in striped clothes. Fire, blood, ra-
pine, ruin. 1t covered what would
cost fifty dollars of space iu the
SENTINEL. The lowest bidder did
it for two dollars. Thirteen per-
sons, including the Office dead heads
and the janitor and two pea nut
boys constituted the audiance.
Listen to my tale of woe, in poetry.
Peddlers are prowling around the
country, selling groceries at whole
sale prices, they say. If you read
the papers, and have your senses
left, you will not buy from them
They don't work the roads, they
don't help build churches and school
houses. Let them alone. Come
and buy your goods in Logan from
men you know, and can trust. We
expect soon to hear the lightning
rod man, the green goods fellow,
the gold brick adventurer, follow
ing on the trail of the wholesale
grocery" that is if he reports fools
plenty, on his route and people too
smart TO learn anything from the
home paper.
The Ohio Central Lines have just
received from the Pullman Car Co.,
