MYRT WANTS TO MAKE GOOD

Writes Down to Warwick County for a Bride—What’s the Matter With Jasper County Girls? It is quite evident that the conscience of County Surveyor Price has been bothering him a good deal of late because he has apparently made no effort to fulfill the frequent promises he has made to his party to take Ji wife if they would re-nominate him “once more” to office. In proof of this we clip the following from an Indianapolis paper, and while Myrt’s ambition is laudable, we hardly like the idea of his turning his back on the charming young ladies of his own county, and unless he decides to select bis bride from among their ranks we predict he will have mighty bard sledding to land the office of surveyor again. The dispatch follows: Boonville, Ind., Jan. 6,—Following the publication of the articles in various Capers telling of the marriage of three acbelor county officers-elect before their being sworn into office in this county Louis Meyer, county surveyor and one of the number to marry on the night before he assumed duties as county surveyor, today received a letter from Myrt B. Price, county surveyor of Jasper county, Ind., at Rensselaer, Ind., in which the latter asks the former it a bride could be found down in Warrick county for him. Price states that he is a bachelor and has been unable to find him a suitable bride in his part of the state. He states that be is now serving his fifth term as county surveyor of Jasper county and is anxious for some industrious housewife. Meyer immediately answered the letter and assured Mr. Price that if he would come to Warrick county a satisfactory wife could be found for him.
