As another instance of Mr. Price's economy we will cite you to the letting of the contract recently for the bu'ldiug of a wooden bridge in Coal Creek township. Wm.

Several republican papers iu this district delight in calling attention to Farmer J. A. Mount and Dudo Brookshire. For the benefit of these misguided journalists we simply state that Mr. Brookshire was born and raised upon a farm, aud is in every seuse of the word practical tiller of the soil. What money Mr. Brookshire has acquired lie obtained by the sweat of his brow and did not fall heir to it as Mr. Mount did. Mr. Mount in theory is a farmer, but in reality au office seeker,

Mr. Price says the reason the contract for election booths was not given the Coffin Co., was because the company could not furnish the shirt-tails which suspend at either side from the top of the booth. The gentleman, evidently, don't often visit our dry oods merchants—but perhaps ho buys those articles also away from home.

Wants $1,500.
L. J. Coppage was in
ndianapolis
on Mon
day arguing the case of Mrs. Hannah Peterson vs. the Masonic Mutual Benefit Association. For some years Mrs. Peterson, who lives in New Ross, took care of one Joseph Cooper, who, at his death, gave to Mrs. Peterson a policy in the above company for $1,500 in payment for her labors. The company refused to pay it because there was a slight flaw in the transfer of the policy and because Cooper had legal heirs living who were ready to contest its validity upon its presentation. The defendant's attorneys were J. F. Haruey aud J. S. Stover, of Ladoga, and S. J. Peele, of Indianapolis. Up to the time of going to the time of going to press, the Judge has the case under advisement, but the plaintiffs fee' sure of success.

Price in a Pickle.
Our old friend, Michael Price, is traveling a rocky road at present. He is busy explaining away the clouds which lie like a wet blanket on.his career as county commissioner. Ho is the self appointed boss of tho board, and owns this county and a slice of Tippecanoe, and being such is responsible for the damage done. He is the man who purchased 1,000 copies of the election law, and turned 500 of them over to the republican central committee, as campaign literature and paid for them out of the county treasury. He is the man who let a contract to Indianapolis people, not according to the established rule, and discriminated against a home industry on the plea that he was Bavmg the county $8. The advertisement called for bonds to accompany the bids, and that the same must be filed before a certain hour. The Indianapolis bid was not tiled until after the time and then time was granted to get a bond filed. This watch clog of tho treasury is the man who contracted for 42 election booths from a foreign manufacturer, paying $100 more for them than home talent offered to supply them. Mr.'Price has all of this and many other tbiugs to answer for and he will be kept pretty busy between now and November 4 in explaining them- satisfactorily to the voters of Montgomery county.
