A grand reception was given D.
Thompson by the Union Com-

citizens of Lincoln'and throughout
the state , in honor of his appoint
ment as Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to Brazil.
The receipts of the Co. Clerk's
office for the past year were § 4 ,
013.25 ; expenses allowed § 1869.98 ,
leaving a balance of § 1143.27 to be
turned into the general fund of the
Co. Treasury. This expense in
cludes the salary of the County
Clerk § 1500 , Deputy § 700 , Re
cording Clerk § 150. other expenses
129.98. Tkc office of Co. Clerk
should be divided into three offices
that of Co , Clerk , Clerk of Dis
trict Court and Register of Deeds.
Valentine Democrat.
The above figures make an excel
lent showing in the management
of onr coumy clerk's office , and
ought to be very gratifying to the
taxpayers and people of Cherry
county. But we fail to seeany
good reason why the county clerk's
' office should be divided into three
offices , eVcn "if it were lawful to
. make such division. If this county
embraced a popul itipn of 8000 peo-
1"pie it wqulcl be i ntitled to a clerk
of the district cc.irt , and if it em-
'l5faced"18-OOB perplo it would be
en titled 'to a-registur of deeds. But
the county. clerkto add to the
. county's general fumT ought not
to suggest to an ecomical citizen
the need of thecreating another
> county officer just to absorb this
surplus. The same propriety
; V would suggest the division of Cher-
. ry county into two or three small-
f cr counties , and thereby create
several more public offices whose
'i salaries would necessarily have to
; be-paicl .by tlie same people who
now pay tliQ.salaries of only one
_ set. The Cow Boy fs opposed to
" the"creatihgnof any more expense
than is necessary for our people to
- bear. The Democrat is the mouth-
' piece of one of the political parties
- ' in Cherry county and its editor
should be more thoughtful than the
above item from his paper would
indicate. Cody Cow Boy.
Editor Heath , of the Cody Cow
t
Boy , got .off his base last week in
trying to criticise or condemn 'tlie
VALENTINE DEMOCRAT for an arti
cle .which he" reprinted referring
, . . .to the division of the office of coun
ty clerk into three offices. Editor
. -Heath claims to be publishing a
paper for the people and is in f e-
ality occupying same territory \
and ground that wasformerly oc- j
.ctinied by the two Valentine pa-
'persbut hehas never said to. the
people to give him only the same
support that was accorded the pa-
, pers published here but has reached
" " 'out asking for'more and the same
ground is in .many cases covered
twice by these publications and
Heath Las not said cut 'cr down at
all. No , lie's thinking of some
thing else there and possibly thinks
its a good'thing , to hard a graft a
going whereby he can rake in the
spare rickels that are liable to burn
the pockets of others. Now Bro. t
Heath , we looked up the facts and ' '
. figures-at the timevc'published t
\tfie article regarding the division : .
. ofthe. . office and learned that it was r
.possible xip add the office of clerk
of district cblirt and , tliat when.wc r.
'liavc t'lus required population
(
might create the-Other office or sep4 ,
arate.it from theoffice of county
clerk : But our law makers , possi- . }
J-ble did not know what a lot of rejc
cording therewould be in a large g
county like Cherry Co. nor how 0
*
man elected for each of these offi
ces so that a citizen might expect
a greater degree of perfection.
It is not necessary to explain fur
ther to those who have thought be
fore they spoke and we trust that
Bro. Heath will think this matter
over and conclude he has been
hasty in speaking or that he has
some imaginary grievance to set
tle with this editor. There arc
gopd points : in the Cow Boy's
reasoning but the foundation is
faulty. What every county should
have , is a competent official in each
capacity where good and careful
work is required. It is not right
to overburden our"officials with
the appointive power nor the work
of three offices.
