In regard to what the PRESS mly or
may not say, depends upon circum-
stances, This paper is newspaper. aud
endeavors to honestly furnish legitimate
news to the public. Naturally enongh it
has been very loyal TO its home town. rs
well rs Mr.. King has to his. but the old
spirit of bitterness engsndered by coln-
ty seat contests has no place in the
thoughts of this writer por in the con-
duct of this paper.
The memorable contests for county
seat honors are now history. During
|, those early years OF excitement and often
dramatic incident the PRESS performed
It's par, in making aud recording that
history. But with the changed condl-
tions our work changed, and for ten
years this paper has avoided contention
that would perpetuate the old feelings Of
bitterness, which, as Mr.. King lntimates,
has largely died out = perhaps altogether
so far as Miller is concerned. because
former st. Lawrence men ara now en-
gagged in business in Miller, perfectly
satisfied with their treatment here.
The dissolution of st. Lawrence, now
SO evident to anyone, and matter of IN
terest for the historians pen.r is purely
| the result of natural conditions. The
purchase and removal of buildings {,
Miller by Mr.. Gross and others is matter
| of private investment. Miller is growing
and improving individuals bought and
paid for buildings in st. Lawrence be-
cause they could be bought at bargains.
| Several buildings have also been bought
and moved to farms because they were
wanted and could be had cheap. What
the supreme court will do about stopping
these removals remains 10 be seen.

Redfield Journal: An Injunction
to restrain the removal of buildings
from the town of st. Lawrence to
Miller was denied by Circuit Judge
Gaffy. In "a fight for prestige be-
tween the two towns, which are in
Hand county, on the Northwestern
road, Miller was victor, and so many
buildings were bought and moved
from st. Lawrence to Miller that
the former town is about wiped out.
To prevent any further removals
the Injunction was sought on the
ground that the value OF obligations
incurred by st. Lawrence was being
impaired by this reduction OF tax
able property. This decision settles
a similar question which came up i'll
dispute some time ago as to wheth-
er certain property owners in Ash
ton could remove their buildings to
Redfeld, where there were better
chances for rental and an increased
valuation thereof.

Thus far there has been no novelty in the
