uouNTY PATRONAGE no A RAG.


This weeks issue Of the ink be-
daubed rag known as the Guide con
tains a number of liquor notices given
It by County Clerk Stewart. Ia award
ing these notices TO the Guide, the
county clerk violates the provisions Of
the statute covering this matter, which
says that liquor notices come under
the head OF legal publications which
must be inserted IN papers Of general
circulation" The Guide has no gem
eral cireulation-in fact, it has no cir
eulation at all Fifty copies OF the
thing are not printed in month. 1t
not newspaper, and makes no
'sEaim as such. IL is issued by Judge
= Perkins to crafty an ambition, and is
.onceiyed by him from a shirt-tail full
: q type and lemon sqeezer now aud
hen.
a Yet despite this fact, Stewart places
important legal notices in the Guide
and an occasional notice goes TO the
NCRpitAl. While the clerks office was
in DehsscrAtic- hands these notices
went TO reputable papers OF general
circulation. Not only is the law vio-
lated, but the town and territory is
done irreparable harm in cases where
a copy OF the Guide, containing legal
notice, is sent outside the territory.
A town is generally judged by It's
newspapers, and an eastern man seeing
q copy OF Perkins abortion would
naturally entertain a detected opinion
OF the town Stewart should make
amends before IL is too late
