II. l.. SwIsHER, Prop'r.
A LAW suit at Sistersuille over q
small bill for COW pasture, has called
in much legal talent and promises tC
be of great interest. The defendants
claim that under a contract for pas
ture during the summer they still have
the right to put their cows to grass,
while the plaintiff declares the sum
mer ended and the term OF contract
closed. Already there have been writs
of prohibition, injunctions, temporary
and perpetual, and from the promin-
ence of the parties in interest the case
bids fair to go to the supreme court
and to last we'll into the next century.
The Hannis Distillery at Mar
tinsburg is closed by an injunction
and the feeling against injunctions
in that section is intense. The dem
ocrats in the government service
there were displaced and republi-
cans put in their places. They APP
piled for injunctions preventing
their successors from going to work
and Judge jackson granted them.
Now no one can work. The repub-
licans are injuncted and the demo
Gratis are fired. What the outcome
of this curious tangle will be is await
ed with interest.
j. b. PRoTzMAN is back from
Pruntytown where he had gone to
take charge of the public schools.
The school building burned some
time ago and so far the directors
have been unable to make arrange
ments for carrying on school. Con
he has returned and will
remain here until the arrangements
can be completed for the re-opening
Of school No cause has as yet been
for the burning of the
Mr.. Protzmon's foot is
still sore from the cut received at the
lime of the fire but it will only re
luire time to completely heal up.
EX-GovERNoR Francis, of Missouri,
ays of the local paper: "Each year
he local paper gives from $50G to
IS, 900 in free lines to the community
n which it is located. No other
gent can or will do this. The editor,
n proportion to his means, does mere
or his town than any other ten men,
md in all fairness he ought to be sup
because you like or adj
nire his writing, but because the To-
al paper is the best investment a
can make. 1t may not
)e brilliantly edited or crowded with
hought, but financially it is of more
)rofit to the community than the
preacher or teacher. Understand me,
do not mean mentally or morally,
tut financially. To-day the editors Of
he home papers do the most for the
east money of any people on the face
# the earth"
