The County Printing.

The County printing and Publishing for one
gear has been awarded to the Laurel Demo
,.1at, tilt journal having complied with the
II quirements of the law, but we do not propose
to let our readers suli'.r thereby as We will
publish all public notices in substa ice if not
in form. This has been the rule with THE
ENQUIRER whenever it has happened not
to get the contract. There is one thing, how
ever in connection with this mater about
which We desire to say a word. When the
County Commissioners met on Tuesday We
offered to submit our subscription books to
their inspection In order that they might settle
the question OF the respective circul atoms of
the papers III competition, but they preferred
that atildavlts be submitted. We then suggested
that they be under seal ana it was mutually
understood by all concerned that it should be
a private matter and the figures given should
j not 90 beyond the Commiss toner's room. Our
| reason for this was that under the letter iol
| the law tie contract is awarded TO ''the lowest
bidder of the two papers having the largest
bona fde circulation in the couny," and thele-
fore excludes certain gratuitous circulation
That all county newspa pers have, as well as
all those cJpies sent to neiyhboruing Counties
and the cities. 1nour case The figures neceSsari-

a fractional part of THE ENQuIREH'S circula-
ton, as large numbers are sent t. post offices
just outside the county limits and TO Washing
ton and Bat more to former residents and
taxpayers aud others who have interest, here
The reading public will not pause to consider
this but inay unjustly rate THE ENQUIRER by
the figures published in the gazette, to oll
great loss and III jar, The bona fde-lot grd-

subscribers are being added TO our list cons anly
but when we are ready to have cur cllcuia
ton published we want it done in whole ant
not IN part. We regret that our brother o.
the Gazette has done this, and as We are told
that he was advised by the clerk of the Com
mssners that it was not intended for publica-
ton, there must have been design in it.
The time may come in the future when the
Gazette may have TO give under oath the
number OF its bona .fde paying subscribers

How To Plant Trees.

In setting out trees the following directions
will be found useful:
See that the trees are KEPT perpendicular.
Spread out the roots in natural positions, and
if any of them are broken or bruised at the
ends, trim them of carefully with sharp
knife. Put in few shovelfulls of good soil
and pack it slightly with the foot. Put the
tree in position, throw on several shovetulls
of dirt, sitting well among he roots and gent
ly churnine tie tree up and down TO work the
dirt well in. Continue this until the roots
are well covered with three inches of dirt
Then firmly press down the dirt over the roots
and fill it in to two or three inches above the
surface. Do not leave the soil around the
trees in cone shape, but keep it level.
When the trees are set out all side branches
should be removed to height of at least six
feet. If the main shoot Of the tree shows an
excessive growth over the others, that is the
previous years growth, which is easily told
by the bark, then it should be cut back, so
as to leave about two feet only of this
growth.
Best results ire attained by shortening the
lOnge branches SO that only about one-third
more branches appear than there are roots.
This method al ows newly-set trees to re-
cover more quickly than when they are left to
have the der tied roots furnish s,lstan to
trees that are not pruneG at I'll
