Political situation in Lancaster.

The editor of the News, Warsaw, says
that Willard will carry this county over
his two ompetitors--Swanson and Mann
and that there will not be % votes
difference between Martin and Montague.
Well, we are not Boosting, or making
rash predictions. but we think our
brother editor is "way of his base" His
eager desire has gotten the better Of his
Judgment. This reminds us that four
years ago, early in the game, like report
was trumpeted from Lancaster Court
house and Warsaw that Montague would
carry Lancaster over Swanson. The
former did not get even smell" when
the roundup came. The people of Lam.
caster cannot be spitted on bosses pixies,

Fines over $4,000.

In our Lancaster court notes last week
we published list Of fines paid and un-
paid, reported by Justices of the Peace.
Most of these have been collected and
paid over since reported by the Justices.
Deputy Sheriff Gresham alone has col
lected and paid over $st5 of fines in
White Stone district since being in ONCE.
Amount Of fines paid over to the State
Auditor during the past twelve months
by Clerk Chiffon is $1,e4O.1O. This Is
aside from 81 600 fines assessed at the
January and March terms of our circnit
conrt, which will be collected and re-
mitted in due time.
The work of our county officers is
highly commendable. A little more
fining and some falling would put us on
a most respectable basis.
