There are a lot Of 2x9 statesmen 10
this county who ass too good to pat
THE INDEX, but who never
theless sneak around or send over to
their neighbora to borrow it regularly
week after week, year in and year out.
These statesmen have convinced them
that they are some pumpkins.
They think II there is anything doing,
do It, They imagine that the
world turns on its axis so smoothly just
in imitation Of their smooth, oily tricks.
But they poke off and borrow this
each week aud will do so to the end
Of the chapter. WhyY Because they
know-they don't hipk this time-that
when the hour 81 be cay and the
date arrive % start things. this paper

their money we want, though, that We
make this statement. We would like to
them on our list Of subscribers.
but The INDEX was here as early as any
Of them and before some of them, and
it will be here when their grand child
rem are grown and, with more judgment
than their ancestors, are enrolled as it's
staunehsst patrons. We are the official
paper Of the county again, this year.
