Immediately draws from his pocket
a copy of paper that Is in marked
contrast 10 the city papers, as far as
type aud general appearances 90.
The type is invariably larger, and
the display OF advertising and heads
to news articles are comparatively
smaller. The ink is not always
spread evenly over the pages.
Nevertheless the business man
opens the paper to the page devoted
to news ard reads every line there.
After that he not infrequently reads
the business advertisements and
gives a brief look at the editorials.
The city man used to live in the
village where the paper was printed
and he recognizes the names printed
there as old acquaintance, perhaps
friends. The village paper to him
is like letter from home. He may
get it by subscription; more frequen-
tly it is from loving friend at the

.INpuLeINe in BABY TALK.

For several days our esteemed Dem
ocratfo nefghbor has been talking
about a vast number Of public i'm
provements it wants the County Court
to appropriate money for. Now we
warn it that the records at the Court
house will show how much money
has been spent each year for genera
lions back both by Democratic and
Republican courts and call its atten-
ton to the fact that the present Dem
ooratic candidate for county commits
sioner served six years, his term ex-
piring only recently. II the Times
invites a comparison in public inn
provements and payment on the coun-
ty debt created by a Democratic court
we stand ready to give the figures.
Five per cent. more money was rails
ed and tudiciously spent in 1905 than
in 1904, the last year under the old
tax laws and seven per cent more will
be raised and just as wisely spent
this year. larger amount was paid
last year on the county debt than any
Democratic court. ever thought could
be paid in any one year, besides pay
ing the interest on the legacy left
by the last Democratic administra-
ton. More money has been set apart
for bridges this year than any previ-
GUS year. 1t may or may not be used,
as the court sees fit. The apportion-
ment made by the Court at the begin
ming of the year may or may not be
the final distribution of the funds. as
the Times probably knows but is too
dishonest to tell the truth about. AS
stated above II the Times and the Dem
ocratic candidate for county commits
sioner invite comparisons as to the
amount of money raised and the man
ner of spending It, we stand ready TO
give an account Of Republican steward
ship which cannot help meeting the
approval Of the voters Of the county.
If the Times is afraid to meet us on
its silly two,cent fare plank and the
increased burden On the farms and
homes of the people we just as glad
ly accept its baby proposition about
public Improvements and the record
in raising money with which to make
them. 1t is now a question Of put mp
or shut up.
