republicans would muster their lorce

But they never, and the tew who

With two correspondents from
Summit township the Times will
constantly keep the people of Bates
county well postedm in what
transpires in this section. The onlv
thing we regret is that while other
portions of the county are being sup
plied with news from this quarter,
we ate almost left in utter darkness
as to what is going on in other town
ships. But as being known is no
disadvantage to anyone or their
neighborhood, provided they ure
taultless in character and other r.ec
essary teatures we suppose it can be
borne with, however much we would
like to learn ot what is going on in
other portions of the county. We
have never known, or heard of any
one who once became a reader ot
the Times that has ordered hi pa
per discontinued, which is a strong
evidence of it's worth and merit as a
county paper. So keep vour hair
trimmed, your eyes open and stand
firm for democracy and the right and
success is yours.
