ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE.

Miss Anna Walter is again at work in the auditor’s office. licenses: Oct. 5, Henry A. Akers to Blanche A. Blake. Oct. 9. Erasmus T. Burton to Alice Harmon. Oct. 10, Charles Liston to Bertha Alice Bicknell. —o — We notice that our old friend, Fred L. Griffin of the Remington Press, has given a chattel mortgage of $350 upon the said Remington Press outfit to Robert Parker, as shown by the county records. —o — In the case of Hart vs. Kellner, the Jordan tp., ditch case, heard by Judge Reiter of Hammond, during the closing days of the September term of court, the court reserved its decision until the November term. —o — We do not like to intrude upon sacred ground, but would hesitatingly suggest that it might be a good idea for Sim and Fred to discuss with Abe the propriety of getting those “clock experts” who are alleged to have accompanied the commissioners down to Milwaukee when the famous court house clock was purchased, to come down and see what ails it at the present time. This advice is not obligatory; we merely offer it as a suggestion, as we would like to have the clock keep Letter time. —o — The petty meanness of the county commissioners was again shown at their late session in cutting a biJi of our’s for printing, 15 cents. Now the rate for public printing is fixed by law. We think we understand that law perfectly and we flatter ourselves that we understand types anil the mechanical art of the printing business as well as any printer in this section of the state. No one ever saw a padded oi dishonestly set legal notice in The Democrat’s columns. Our notice, to be exact,

amounted to $1.98. We filed a bill for $1.90 and the commissioners cut it to $4.75. If we mistake not, the public will learn something about a number of others’ bills, during the next few months, which the board DID NOT cut or dismiss. New suits filed: No. 6192. George K. Hollingsworth and Arthur H. Hopkins vs. Joseph V. Parkison, the board of commissioners of Jasper county, and Ancel Wood worth, restraining order and injunction, a ditch case.
