THANKS, GENTLEMEN. Below The Democrat publishes S few comments of newspapers in this section of the state on the result of the lawsuit recently had With the commissioners of this county, and we wish to thank the newspaper brethren, individually and collectively, for their fairness in this matter. We knew that the work was worth the price we had charged, and that very few printers in the state made so low a figure for this class of work, therefore we felt that we could not submit to the cut made by the commissioners, who have made it a business to cnt our bills for purely personal reasons and forced ed us to go into court to get our just dues. It is a sad commentary on the intelligence of a people who will suffer its servants to spend public funds to satisfy a mean, personal grudge. No print, ing bill of The Democrat’s was ever filed but what was just and reasonable, and there has never been one iota of excuse for catting any bill one penny: WINS ROUND TWO. Fqwler Leader: The Jasper County Democrat has won a second suit against the Jasper county commissioners for cutting his bill for printing. A JUST AND HONEST CLAIM. Oxford Tribune: The editor ot- the Jasper County Democrat wanted slll for printing election ballots but the county commissioners would pay but SBO. The editor sued and was given judgment in full. Newspaper men are the salt of the earth. A JUST VERDICT. Newton County Star: The county commissioners of Jasper county allowed Babcock of the Democrat SBO for printing the county and township ballots last fail. His bill was SIM ana he refused to accept the allowance, and suit was brought. The case was tried at Kentland last week and the jury, in about half an hour, rendered a decision in Babcock’s favor. Of course. It is said the commissioners will appeal the case. Sure. They have no hesitancy in spending three or four times the amount of the original bill in the hope they may be declared the “whole push."

PEOPLE DON’T UPHOLD THEM. Benton Review: Brother Babcock of Rensselaer woo his suit against the county commissioners of Jasper county over printing the ballots last fall. We believe there are but few citizens who uphold any set of county commissioners using their office in an unjust and parti* san manner. The law is for all the people and the “cute” official may get some taffy for the zeal in wrong doing from some clicque, but in the long run it is like stolen money, not tbe kind of a thing that brings a substantial reward. SHOULD PAY THE BILL. Wheatfield Telephone: Editor Babcock evidently holds the trumps in the controversy with the County Commisioners and the cheapest and most satisfactory way out is for them to pay the claim. The higher courts do not make a general practice of reversing the decisions of the circuit judges and I do not believe they will in this case. As faf as the county council is concerned as affecting this case it is crude and cumbersome and receives little favor at the hands of the courts. Tbe work was worth’ all Babcock charged for it and you don’t catch anybody but a set of fool editors cutting their prices to the bone on public work. The county press is one of tbe greatest factors in American life to-day and will continue to be such and there is no reason on earth why they shouldn’t receive a reasonable profit for tbeir work. The Telephone voices tbe sentiment of the people of tbe north end when we say, pay Babcock's bill.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP Cured by One Bottle of ChambeHaln’e Cough Remedy. ‘■When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured my* ■elf with one bottle of Chamberlain’* Cough Remedy,” says Frank W, Perry, Editor of the Enterprise, Shortoville, H.
