Dn 50. says be. In the f5rst phase, says
I, sumbody propozed that the tackspa-
ers lnete and discus or Gus The rote like
he wanted 20 du the latterl the rode sis-
TEN. And forthwith some men met
and selekted COMMITTEE IA get up sum
ideers, fur you see when they awi got
together evTything was so mikst that
nuthing cud be dun. Well this Com
mite, alaef consulting long time, met
agih with the members Nv the lacks
paefs' Cunvenshun. They kawled i
q Tackspaefs' Convenxhun bekaws the
members Nv Il owned privat forchunes,
sum very large and so priyit that the
Sheriff. coustabul and Tacks-C Collector
kant find emil When they met It was
found that, insted Of discussing The rodes,
they wear eusing everything else. Fust
thing aftar Kernel Dent propoZed that
the rekummendashuns Nv the Committe
be voted on sefyatuss, the Editur up The
BEkuN muved tn turn the hole thing
round and put the he'd on the uther end,
which wus simply redikulus, you kno,
bekaws IL we'd hav kid IL. This was
very properly voted down. Then cum
the COMMITTEES ideers, which ar mas
turpeces Nv wiSdum, fit tn rank by the
sled Nv John Locke's celebrated Con-
stisution fur Gardiner. Fust Gums the
proposi;hun that Jurors, balifs, mesen-
gers. cridts and jules Nv the orfans'
Kort ar not tu reserve oyur 2 dollars per
day. That.is tn much, saws Crooknose,
fur If you put them on 10 wales they
will hurry there wurk up. They ma,
in there angsiety TO keep from getting
tn much in Diet, hang sum innosent pc
pull or let sum rasksls go, or sum orians
ma be defrawded, but that don't matter,
the county will saw fu doliers. As
fur the criurs and messengers, | think
we kan du without sum Nv them. fur
the couaty ort to get stefne engIn. II
wud du fur the fer cumpany in Lenun-
town and wun man cud wurk il and be
messenger for awl the Korts, and rekun
II wud du tn holler the pepul IN Kort.
1t mite perhaps be made to initiate fe-
bly, the vouse nv the present cTier.
That's so, says /. They tux sly pepe
at the CEnrks and Registurs, but didn't
du much. They shoed skill there, fur
sum nv those men are sharp polytish-
uns and il they had hav hit EN- tn hard
they mite haV failed. The Chareman's
ideer about the Doctur doctuFingf fur awl
wus gud. fu. Crate pity that they ar
not put down to 2 dollers day tn.
That's so, says CroOknose. They oTt
to be made 10 ride round fur what luther
men wurk fur. Theyiawlso propoSed
that the Sheriff shad bordl the prizerneFs
fur 30 sents day. Crate ekOnemist
indeed wus he who pTopozed that
think he shad be eleEted keeper Nv the
pore house. He oFt TO be, sed Crook
nose; and I think We shud make an eE-
fort to getihim there. They don'twant
the voters names TO be published ether,
says L. Neither du /, says CrOoknose,
fur We kan then put in a gud many ex-
try votes. And they don't want the
Iors published, says L. Nor du ]. says
Crooknose, Cur Il wont du ia make the
pepul IN smart. A man ma sumtimes
want Ia make an onest dolleF on the
sly, and ifthe Tors ar knone everybody
10 reddy to tell on him. That's SO, says
T. And they don't want the jules Nv
the elekslsun IA be pade FUR but wun
days work. That is gud, says Crook
nose. | hope that and the lor about the
names Nv the voters may pas be1or We
hav tn vote on Lokal Opshun, for :he
Jules then will divide, sum viii be eoun-
ting the tickets while uthurs will be re-
sewing en-, and we kan kno just how
meny extry votes to put in. That's 50,
