History of Jasper County.

The firm of F. A. Battey <t Co., has been engaged in this line of work for several years, and numbers among its publications, the histories of Delaware, Summit, Medina and Monroe counties, in Ohio, Legrange and Noble counties, in this State. These works have elicited the cordial commendation of the press and prominent citizens who were in position to form the most £bmpetent judgment of the performance. The firm comes here with good recommendations, and from the present appearance of the enterprise, it cannot fail to secure the support and encouragement of our people. Mr. Battey, who represents the literary part of the work here, had charge of the work in Ohio, and is fitted, by his Experience as a, journalist, in addition to his work in this special line, to accomplish the duties assigned him. The Medina (Ohio) Democrat, fspeaks of the History of that county, as follows: “The new County History of Medina County has been laid on our table, and an examination of the wonk satisfies us that the publishers have, faithfully performed their portion of the contract, and we learn from a number of subscribers who have received their book" that they are satisfi ed with. them. We commend Messrs. F. A. Battey & Co. to the citisens of the other counties in which they are working, believ*, ing they will perform any pledges made and give them what they have given us—a valuable history and book of reference at as.low.striae as it «an well bo afforded,”
