Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1893-12-28

attention was called to the fact after
making out All affidavit for Z farm
machine company last Saturday.
We were allowed % for a notice
which we should have received 81
Tor. And thus it is that Tie editor
constantly encroaches tho rugged
edge Ct poverty. There is but little
justice IN it. In the same mn Unit of
work, oflentimes less, in cases Of
mortgage sales Of a real estate char
actcr, the pay is more Commensurate
with the labor expended. Why the
price should be cut in two in chat
tel mortgage notices is incompre-
hensible.
Papers were served on Tuesday
for action to recover $46 from the
county by the John A. Morris COM
pany Of st. Louis for stationery fur
nished. The bill has been paid
once, the money having been col.
lected by J.. P. McClarren, who was
then their travelling solicitor. 1t
seems that the company gave speci-
fc instructions TO neve pay an
agent, a fact not observed by The
county officials. Mr.. McClnrren
claimed the company owed him
money on his salary and after re-
ceiving the SAG applied it on his
private account. However the suit
ends the county will be out nothing.
The item in regard to chicken
thieves in last weeks issue was q
little too mild. Aunty Cameron
visited The CouR.ER Office this
week AID stated that the miscreants
carried OFF fouty-twO of her best
chickens, visiting the hennery two
nights in succession. After the first
nights maraud lie la'ly attached a
stout lock t. tie door, but this did
notdauntt' thieves. They simply
removed a plank from thc roof and
pluckcd the c'.icke s IF the roost.

woman. 1t is virtually taking the
bread from her mouth, rs the
chickens were tie vl.ief means Of
support.
