HOW DIFFERENT HERE.

Benton county never had a better board of commissioners. No board in this county ever came so near exercising its full authority and doing its whole duty. The account of a man with a political pull is examined just as carefully as any other bill. Mr. Davidson has nerve to say his piece, and his speech and vote have ever been in tte interest of the tax-payers of Benton county. There have been times when his vote has saved them thousands of dollars. —Fowler Leader In Benton county the county expenditures are $1.98 per capita, while in Jasper county they are 85.64.
