rHE suSSYsIDE HOMESTEAD.
What pity that a Homestead Association with
such sunny name should hayr a stormy ending.
Blu, sueh has been the case. Somebody ddu't do
right. Somebody tried to make too much money. and
overstepped the limits Of honesty. Mr.. Carter paid
So 600 for the land but put it in for sI5O0OO He
II Ortgaged the land for $4,000. He received the
$50 eeO from members, put the money in his pocket
ana the pockets of two other men, but forgot to pay
OF the mortgage. The holder Of the moTtga &C finally
brings suit his money, aud takes the land all away
from the members Who have paid in the $3.50 600. |
The members relied too much upon the honesty II the
officers and they have ali los, their money and don't
feel very 'sGnuy-Sds" about it This is the way
some men do things here but they don't seem to get
into the States Prison. Such Kind Of naughtinesS
brought the system Of Homestead Associations into
isrepate aai doa't hear much Of them now.
