WHEN you ask man to subscribe
for your paper and he says. "Oh, I
never read much, and times are too
plagued tight" for Gods sake apollo.
gize TO him for making the mistake.
and leave him. Life is too short to
waste time trying to learn jackass to
sing soprano. All gentlemen read
newspapers and lots of them. Show
US man who livss for years in a town
and never subscribes for a paper
published there, and we viii show
you a man with a head shaped like a
piece of pie, with the point up, and
whose ignorance is only exceeded by
his gigantic gall. A country news
paper is an institution that works
day and night for every decent man
in the community. Therefore, every
decent man in the community i:
honor bound to assist in its support.

Monday of this week witnessed a
change in the incumbency of a part
of the officials in the court house.
r. P. Typer, as county clerk. gives
place to NJ. B. Fits, who had been
his deputy. We predict that Mr..
Fits admin istration will be as eff
cient and accommodating as was that
of MIR. Typer.
In the sheriS's Office l.. P. Aber
succeeds Gearge Spencer. While MIR.
Aber Is republican, we are free to say
that he has been an accommodating
official.
Things are just as they should be
in the register of deeds Office, fer
Henry Klein succeeds himself, and
that he has done his whole duty is
shown by the universal esteem in
which he is held by those who have
been brought into business relations
with his Office.
w. 2. Bruce retires as commissioner
and is succeeded by Thomas Harper,
a farmer and representative citizen.
For the first time in its history the
county has three republican commits
sioners.
Sid Newcombe is retained as county
surveyor, and it is doubtful if there
can be found in the length and
breadth Of the land more competent
man for that position.

Hr FEELS SORE OVER THE SLIGHT

r,.a Y,urkish Cabinet Council Holds an
 rxtraordinary Meeting and Appeals tr
 France and Russia For Assls tance-It
 Ia Said Nothing Short of French and
 Russian soldiers VIII Stop It.
 CoNsrANTINoPLE. March 26.-As re. anlt of the extraordinary cabinet coun. oil which lasted throughout Saturday, the Turkish government has issued an anneal to France and Russia, asking them to intervene with the object of regulating the affairs of Egypt.
 Germany was also requested by the norte to exercise her good offices in this sense. Instructions have also been dis matched to the Turkish ambassador at tondon to make representations to Mar quis Salisbury, but their tenor is not known. In well informed circles it ia declared the act of the porte is due to the councils of France and Russia, the governments of which countries, it is claimed, have submitted that the pres. ent is the opportune moment for Tur- key to raise the question of her suzer- ainty over Egypt. being practically usurped by Great Britain. The govern ment syndicate, it Is alleged, promised Turkey their support in the matter.
 There is no doubt that considerable annoyance is felt by the porte at the fact that Turkey was not consulted in regard to the advisability of dispatch ing the British Egyptian expedition up the river Mic, and the feeling of irrita- ton has been increased by the khediye llso ignoring the porte entirely. Re- proaches have ill consequence, been ad- dressed to the Ottoman commissioners in Egypt for not taking steps to prevent the organization of an expedition, as it is feared the effects of an advance up the river Nile wi.l be felt elsewhere than on the frontiers of Egypt and that the Arabs of Yomen, (the principal di- vision of Arabia, adjacent to the strait of Babel Mamdeb), may be encourage to fresh hostility to the Turkish au- thorities.
 In diplomatic circles here, it Is be- leyed that the steps taken by the porte to protest against the expedition to Dongola will not have more than moral effect and. though it is admitted France and Russia will refuse their consent to the use of the Egyptian reserve fund, it is generally understood that nothing short of armed interference of those two nations will prevent Great Britain from pushing the Souden campaign.
