uinu 10 tfy ny leyei pest 10 be sorry, IN
case it should prove to be such, for you
know the poet saw. AZ fo;or feeling makes
us wondrous kind" But then will ask you
the symptoms, and we can tell whether yours
is the kind Of grip above referred TO-
Did it take you in the back of the head. in
the neck, in the throat, in the lungs, in the
legs, in back, along the alimentary canal,
and throw you around until you were hot
with fever? If so, then you had the
"Dispensary grip" just as l now remember
it and am truly sorry to hear ii; and
don't mean any reflections or insinuations
when | say it. Respectfully,
G. WALTON WHITMAN.
Pretty good for G. Walton. But The
symptoms in our cise were not of the dis
rensary grip, as you remember it" 1t
Il d net throw as around until zee were red
hot with fever" If that was one of your
symptoms, you must have had the "blind
tiger grip" Neither did it get into our
legs. That's another "blind tiger" symp
tom, as you remember it, Beth of those
symptoms indicate very bad case of "blind
tiger" grir, and the person thus attacked
is prone to wanler around until the "we
sma' hours" Of the morning, wi bottle of
anti, grip medicine IN his pocket, upon the
commonly accepted theory that 'tho hair of
the dog is good for the bite" Having no
disrcnsary (casel here, while in other re-
spccts cur symptoms are somewhat as you
''nvw remember it, ours cannot be the dis
pensary grip; but as you recovered so
quickly after ycu LIFT the dispensary strick-
en- city of Columbia and got into the healthy
anti-dispersary atmosphere of Jonesville, we
arc ircincd TO think your case was a COM
plication Of dispensary- tiger grip.
BsE" We have hundreds of dollars due
us for legal advertisements in the Masters,
Shcrit's Clerks and Probate Judges Off
ccs Much Of it has been standing for
years, some from necessary delays in litiga-
ton, but great rart of it is from adver
tisirg sa'es aud the parties purchasing have
failed To comply with their bids, while
in many cases they hold the property
and receive the rents aud emoluments from
it. This'is very unjust to us, at least, who
have heavy current expenses and depend
entirely upon the c'llections We make fro
the business Of the office to meet them
But we ac not alone complaining. The
Sheriff, Master and Clerk complain that costs
now due to their Offices amount to large
sums and are still accumulating. Those
gentlemen can stand it better than we.
They have no office rcat. t"~7s ur insurance.
o,, I hn:r a. fi,in -,
they have no money invested in their Offices
--and no employees to pay every Saturday,
except the Shc' If, who employs deputy.
There SHOULD bc some legal way to i'm
property bid oft at legal sales until the
costs are paid. We ask the officers TO make
efforts ~ collect arr cJs's, even il they can
afford and are wii:'ng to give longer time
on what is due 10 them.

GsIy" We canIidly confess that in our
OF iai n. the Towa Council committed an
error III refusing t, ID the Safe authorities
to cnf1rc: The dispcn.ary law. As We have
said bcf it i law of the State. and
whether We consider l. a 2, Oh or bad law,
it is the dI'y Ct every citizen, and more
esrec ly every oiIic nj il whose hsnds the
pelcc and god order of community is
placed, not or'yto oh y thc law tut to assist
the proper authorities # the State in their
efforts to enforce il.
1t is narrowed down to this: Shall we
have n lawful dispcns lry or II number Of
unlawful ~ lind rgcis' in Union? Let the
many drunkS in thls town last Sunday bear
witness against the latter.
But if we wink at the vi l,tion of the
dispcnsary law because We do not like it, or
it does mt accord with our individual
notions in some respects, nay We not, with
the same prop;icty, Wink at the vi i,lation of
almost every law in the s'a'utc books? For
we dare assume that no law i 80 complete
and castle aS to Please eve, yhody.
