of this place, and Mr.. Whitson, of the
county. who was n candidate for the
nomination in the last race. Besides
there are several others who want to
be candidates. Well. trot out boys,
the longest pole knocks the rersim-
mons. Let me give you piece Of adj
vice, steer clear of breakers-co
along smoothly-have no quarrels
among yourselves, You will have a
rough road to travel, unless YOU get;
the nomination by harmonious action

In the last issue Of the Echo. some
one writing under the nom de plume Of
PRO Bono Puhlico," gave the people
some wholesome advice, in regard to
the kind o: Representative this people
need. The article has been quite
extensively criticised, and attributed
to various persons-to one, who Is con-
sidered the clark horse" for the honor
of representing us. Now let me say
the piece was not written by either OF
the aspirants, or by the dark horse"
but was written, rs learn, by one,
who is not, will not be, nor does he
aspire TO the place.
see that the Echo copies from my
letter of March the TN, what | said
in regard To the funding board of the
county. | find that what was said is
endorsed by the people. They go
further than | do, and say TO the
members of the board, gentlemen,
you have shown that you are incapa-
hle of accomplishing anything for us,
YOU have done nothing but meet. talk
over the matter, sometimes have a
time oven something, (no one can tell
what. then record your Attendance at
81 per day, adjourn, meet again, ad-
joNrn, do nothing but claim your 50.
You had better resign and let the
people elect some one that ,cW do some
thing towards giving US relief" l
