THE HOG SYSTEM

The accompanying article was printed
in the Cottonwood Chronicle, under the
caption of The Hog System:
Sometimes prejudice of a most
damaging nature is created against
county-seat towns, caused by poor judg-
ment and narrow mindedness of some of
its business men-particularly county
officials and lawyers. We have a glar-
ing example of it at Grangeville. Some
of the county officers and lawyers act
like they thought it crime to patro-
nize the county papers outside of that
town with legal notices that properly
and justly belong to the nearest paper
to the land advertised. For example
two summonses are now being published
in the Grangeville papers that should be
advertised in the Chronicle-one re-
garding the hotel property in Cotton
wood and the other the Moughmer prop
erty at Keuterville. Several other legal
notices from this part of the prairie
have also been advertised at Grangeville
lately. This "hog it all'' idea by
usually makes the
county-seat town very unpopular with
the public generally. The outside pap !
ers are published at heavy expense, pay
their proportion of taxes and surely are
entitled to their just and honest share
of the county business, the same as are
The county-seat papers,"
