THE FRANKLIN TIMES has al
ways offered to accept the rate as set,
( ne-half cent a word, as pay and let
the count be made by any reputable
telegraph operator, on the same bas
is as the telegraph Company makes
lor telegrams.
Considering the fact thai? It*.Is Sk
most an impossibility for the tax
payers to visit either ot the offices
and examine and study the financial
statement of the town or County, the
?mall cost and that being set by the
Legislature, and pre duty of the Cam-.
t-ilssioners as sdTbyThW, Isn't "ft bnly'
lust to tell the stockholders (the tax
payers) In the County and town gov
ernments what is becoming of their
noneyT
[t Fays To A dvertine in
The Franklin. -
Mr. George Manning, of Inglestde,
irho is a firm believer In the effkasy
cf printers' Ink thinks that it pars
to advertise In THE FRANKLIN
riMES for quick results, as his black
rat was recovered last week on the
jar of publication. He also believes
that Mr. J. H. Boone, of Lou labors,
to whom he is gratefully indebted for
Its safe and prompt return, shares the
riews of the owner of the dark feline
In that he chegjahes no so pe rati clous
scruples in regard to the? antiquated
tradition that S 'black cat is a har
binger of dire misfortune.-or the imp
jf some evil omefc?whether it applies
to crossing his path or taking a stray
?ne in as another household pet.
Ion that even
lor, and valued at the price of a good
?crub mule, was pf. sufficient Import
ance to be placed immediately in the
t'ands of the owner which- he kindly
did (without compensation) at- the
home of the latter, on FYlday evening
lest something happen to "Blackid"
before he could be called for>' The
joung animal remembered his name
tnd familiar faces, bat speared to be
Durprlsed to see old friends, cats and
otherwise.
