There are now on our books nearly 2,000 ' subscribers, many of whom have paid nothing in a year or longer. We ask all these delinquents to settle up as soon as possible. Each account is made out up to the nearest year or half year. It may be that some who get these statements have already paid; if so just call our attention to the fact and we will cheerfully make the correction. All we want is what is due us and not a cent more. But we do want that. Pay for your paper. Have you paid your subscrip tion? At last the rain has come to lay the dust.

Editor County Record:?In the beginning- I did not anticipate a newspaper controversy and I am greatly humiliated when now I realize that I have become so degraded as to be associated by the press with a dirty, low, pusillanimous, putrid pimp. Heretofore I have not used a single unclean expression in this accusation;, but in order to aualifv Philip H * V * Stoll, I must disgrace myself. Knowing that he is guilty of the charge that I have made against bim and being unable to make out a defense, he has evaded the issue and in retaliation has resorted to mean, underhand, crooked motives by making an attack upon my character occupying almost an entire page of our paper with an unauthentic, in. consistent mass of falsities beginning with mythology and ending with dirty, vile, common slang, the writing of which would shame the dirtiest urcbin of the slums. His article of last week is without the slightest tinge of veracity and considering tbe source, I have not time and cannot become so degraded as to take notice of these dirty, false statements of a common yellow i n _ s _ cur, unwortny 10 oe canea a son-of-man. But in reply to a few items, to say that I "ruthlessly laughed when horses driven by ladies became frightened/' is a lie and I defy any man. to say that I have not at all times shown the highest respect for ladies and when driving a car 1 have always to the best of my ability rendered assistance to every lady in distress with a dangerous horse. Fill-up H?Stoll now denouncing alcoholic liquors attempted to ride a whiskey ticket into the Senate Hall and was igno miniously rejected by the people as a contemptible traitor, too dirty to join a "dirty political ring." As far as the books are concerned, I have in my possession an affidavit signed by the as sistant State auditor and properly probated, stating that he has twice examined the books and found them in perfect con dition, posted to date and from the manner in which the books are kept that he thinks that the clerk thoroughly understands the system, which he executes with perfect satisfaction. To publish the affidavit would require too much space. Believing that the public knows that Philip H 8toll is guilty of gross negligence in the discharge of his official duty and that he is as above stated, I have nothing more to say: except that if anything further appears in the press by the C UMHHIHBaMB )0S, When Purchasii N Workmansl infraction Make t what you < Shoes f dren, GOODi > J hand ot Philip H Stoll detrimental to me personally or in my official capacity, I shall not seek the aid of the press in retaliation. Thanking1 you for the space thus afforded me, Yours very truly, J D Gilland. The Dispensary Robbed Last Friday night the local dispensary was broken Into and robbed to the extent of $62-45 in ? -i_- oc\ _ r wnisKey ana money, oniy vz 01 which however, was in cash. The burglar or burglars entered at the rear window, tearing away the iron grating" and breaking a pane of glass. No one heard any disturbance and the burglary was not discovered until the morning after when the doors were opened about seven o'clock for business. The cash drawers were fonnd in an adjoining lot rifled of the small amount they contained. Fortunately all the cash received for the day had been deposited save what was taken in a few moments before closing. Up to this time we bear of no clue as to the ideality of the darimg cracksmen.
