I J. Johnson, of our cotem
porary says that he would rather
set the county advertising in Bre
vier as it is larger and easier to
handle. He would do better stack
ing cord-wood as it is still larger
and easier to handle. Any- printer
knows that much better time (con
sidering the number of words) can
be made setting smaller type, and
tho space it occupies is much less.
A man that would make such ns
