There seems to bs brooding in the
minds of some of our business men an
impression that newspapers are under
obligations to give them continuous
free localsj ust because they are patrons.
In order to satisfy persons IN several
instances we have yielded to this IN
just demand but the time has now ar
rived when we must cali halt. When
we go into these same business houses
the dealers never feel that we would
be justified IN asking for twenty five
or City cents worth OF goods simply be-
cause we are patrons and yet are seem
ingly under the impression that we are
in business only to help them, never
thinking that the cost in running a
newspaper is far greater than any 9th
er branch of business in town. We
simply state facts when We say that
the INDEX Is less patronized by the
citizens of the town than any other
business firm. Yet they howl when
we protest against giving them free
advertisements.

the one receiving the least number of
votes should withdraw. leaving the
matter to be decided with only two
candidates before the convention. The
next ballot resulted in tie vote be-
tween Adams and Lacy and another

During the past week Judge o. e.
Howe was very low and at different
times his life was endangered and he
is not entirely out of danger yet. He
took sick last Wednesday and has had
the close attention of the physicians
since. We have not learned the ma
ture of the ailment but it is said to be
due more to his old age and general
feeble condition than anything else.
The extreme hot weather of last week
also contributed to his illness. The
present cool wave will doubtless be of
great benefit to him.
