remarks concerning the proposed edi-
tors of this heretofore uuheard-of

while touching on the matter Of couu-
ty printing as disposed Of by the coun-
ty commissioners, hit one Of tbe NUM-.

TALLY referred ro some past acts that
would not bear having the N-rays
turned on Nonames were mentioned,
but that seemed unnecessary and TO
have been thoroughly understood. Ee
