Some of The Democrat editor’s friends about the court house—presumably the official who during the time the commissioners were contracting for “extras” for the new court house right and left, felt called upon to correct an “error” in the commissioners’ record by cutting several pages therefrom, and who has never forgiven The Democrat man for making this mutilation of county records public—made complaint to the “tax-ferrets” that The Democrat man had failed to list the Remington Press plant for the year 1897. In February, 1897, we sold a half interest in the said plant to E. J. Bailey, repurchasing said interest in August of the same year. It took us about two minutes to show the “ferrets” by the tax records that said plant was duly assessed to said B ibcock & Bailey for the year 1897, and that the tax on this assessment was paid in full by the said Babcock. If “Honest Abe” or his satellites tell you that The Democrat man jumped his assessment for 1897 or any other year or owes one penny of taxes on the tax-duplicates of Jasper county, or any other county, except the current year which can be paid any time until the first Monday in May without penalty, tell him for us that he is a prevaricator of the first water.
