FOR NEW

Formation Of A New
County Suggested as
Means of Settling Long
Standing Feud.
The question aa to the advisability
of organizing a new county out of tbe
territory immediately tributary to the
oity of Union, ia being serlou-ly con
sidered by some of our leading tax
payer. Should it be fully determin
ed to proceed further with tbe new
conoty movement, the Republican will
endeavcr to j lace before its roadere all
fact ' bearing upon the proposed
change. It '.a argued that aa a means
of satisfying all parties to the county
aeat controversy, and forever burying
and obliterating the oM feud that for
so'rnany yntrs has ben in evidence in
this pownt , the new county idea pre
sents the must possibl i opening. Un
less some euch pi in is adopted , there

A proscription that lucks in the lciist csscnliul
is worse tliuu worthless).. It may be positively
dangerous a peril to the lift; nl the patient. It
may defeat the doctor's i-tl'urtu, ami it may ri
tsrd the recuperative forces of nature.
To have any value wlmtev r, a prescription
mu-t be compounded from drugs that are nliso
lulely pure and of standard potency. It must
be exactly what the doctor intended it should he.
If it is this, it is certainly worth the retail value
of the drugs it contains. Our prescription etr

come. . Tbe question before tbe people
is this: Isn't tbere some way of pai

and doesn't tbe new county idea seem
abiut the beat way? Think it over.
