getting up that card, as / know
there were some parties in Canton
who were exceedingly anxious to

that he has no Recollection of his

Now, Mr.. Editor, the facts are that
MIR. Hulme and Mr.. Hamberlin ne
gotiated an agreement between
certain parties and Otis, whereby
Otis agreed Oh the part OF Col.
Wcodman, to stop all prosecution
against said parties, conditioned
that certain property of Woodman
which had been stolen should BE-
returned. All this occurred some
twelve or thirteen years ago, when

their homes desolated, their farms
devastated, and their property de-

CITY TAKE ..

Editor American Citizen:
Dear Sir-Having seen the short
paragraph in your last issue, in
reference to the levy of the Mayo,
! and Board of Aldermen amounting
to IA mills, and the statement there
in that some of the tax payers were
clicking like ba. steers" l write
this as an act of justice and to ex-
plain the situation.
The Board, at their meeting on
the 81 (the day of the levy. discov-
cred that the assessment on realty
alone in our city had fallen $40, 900
short of last year. This being true,
u levy by them of Ia mills would of
itself be reduction Of 81 mills on
the entire assessment, as IA mills
upon $4,000 wonld raise more
money than 174 mills upon 5000, 900.
In view of these facts, and the fur>
Their one that the levy of IA mills
would cash all of the outstanding
warrants and leave balance for
contingencies, this amount was lev
leu. 4ulS ftCbIOH WAS t' 81 OdScu uIj-
on the amount taken to run the city
government by the old Board, for
the pas. two years.
After the levy by the Board on
the Sd, and after full and minute
calculation of the amount upon
which the present Board could run
the government for II months. they
discovered that the old Board was
to the visitation of
the scourge of last season and
other unlocked for contingencies
to spend much larger amount
than the present Board would be
forced to expeud. After this in
vestigation, the Board, with one
accord, determined to reconsider
their action of the 3rd Instant,
and q special meeting was called,
without expense to the city, and the
assessment was reduced from IA to
eleren mills.
The closing sentence of your par>
a graph, in which you state your de-
to first investigate and
then express your opinion, is an eX-
ample well worthy of being followed.
Let others he equally as charitable,
and l doubt not VIC will ever find
desire on the part of the present
Board to promote the best interests
Of the city of Canton.

District convention. 1t suited these
gentlemen to go to Jackson as del-

appointment, and they went. 1t
now suits them to deny the validity
and legality of the committee and
convention of July 9TH, and they
deny them. 1t IL the old story of
