The wheat that had been harvested
was mixed, and had nearly all the
then common varieties Of winter wheat
raised Whereabouts. Mr.. Clawaon sc.

"ARTFUL DODGERS"

Our attention has been called to q
circular sent broad cast over the county
containing the SO called bonds Of Col
NJ. F. Locke aud J. III. LangstoD. Col.
Locke makes bond, binding on no one,
guaranteeing to build Jail for the
County, provided the County seat is re.
moved to the town Of Alma Col. Locke
or his heirs could not be held under this
bond for anything, and even If they
could, the bond specifies no time when
this work is to be done. 1t was very
clever dodge" on the part of the Colo
nell while on its face, the bond showed
great libcrality, and leada the voters tc
belve that he was acting in good faith
he 80 words it, that An indefinite perioe
is fixed for the work to be accomplished
Vote to locate the County seat at Alma
and even if the bond was good agains'
any one, for anything, Col. Locke is no
obligated to build the Jail, within the
time allotted to man. Examine the bond
carefully yourselves, voters, and don't b.
taken in by "arttul dodgers

" CLAP TRAP BONDS"

We wish the voters of Crawford to
read carefully the two clap-trap bonds :"
that the town of Alma is flooding the
county with. j. NJ. Langston makes
something, called bond, for $4,000,
guaranteeing to build room suitable to
hold courts in. Any contractor will do
that without giving bond, provided it is
paid for by the County. Mr.. Langston
DOES NOT SAY he will furnish this room
FREE of RENT, or will donate the
building to the County, but If the voters
Of the County will move the County
Seat to Alma, he will furnish u room
not q word about its being free.
1t is carefully prepared "clap trap
to catch votes and one long talked of
and like that of Col Locke's fixed III
with a loop-hole to let the gentleman
out, in case the town of Alma should be
so fortunate as to get majority vote 70,
a change. Read carefully Langston',
bond and see ifyou can find spot where
he oblgates himself to furnish FREE te
the County, Court room. You won,
find any such clause, or anything thai
could be construed that way. This bone
has been carefully prepared to deceive
the unwary voters. Look at it carefully
and explain it to your neighbors.
