one seventh of our present yalaationl
aud consequently would pay one
seventh Of our taxes. And, further,
there will be expended within the
county for building, constructing and
equipping the roads 100000, while
the county would only give 100000.
The grading and constructing Of
this road will give employment to the
laboring portion Of the county, while
it will secure to the farmer a ready
market for his products.
II is true that other portions of the
county will reap more largely of the
benefits derived from the roads than
Battelle district. Yet | feel certain
that she will be greatly benefited by
the enterprise, especially that portion
that lies adjacent TO Clay, should the
people once see it in its proper light,
They will certainly vote forit. They
must bear in mind the fact that the
county does not donate 100000 to
some railroad company TO induce
them to build the proposed roads. 1t
is simply the county taking 100000
stock in railroads, and she will have
her proportionate representation and
her pro rata share of the dividends.
Another thing | wish to say to
the people is this: That the 100000
asked for is about 81 per cent. of The
entire valuation of the county, and
consequently would be tax of 81
per cent, not 3 per cent. annually
hut 81 per cent. for one year or il
paid ut one levy. For instance: Il
man whose valuation is 1000, would
pay thirty five dollars. This would
be his entire railroad tax. Let us
assume that the roads would only
pay the interest on the 100000 and
the County Court direct that the
amount subscribed by the county
shall be paid in twenty annual pay.

is 81 900 would pay only one dollar

twenty years; or the entire amount

A SERIOUS DIFFICULTY At RIyEs-

week an alteration occurred at
Rivesville between Smith Snod2rsss

becoming enraged, struck Merrill a
back handed blow with the handle OF
the knife, inficting severe cut just
above the left eve and knocking him
down. Merrill at once recovered
from the shock, but soon after be

for several hours, vomiting frequently
or almost necessarily. He was finally
given medical attention, which afford

THE RAILROAD STRAIGHTFORWARD
HIS REASONS FOR SUPPORTING II.
WADEsTowN, Jan, 27.-The pend
ing railroad proposition is command
ing the attention of the voters of
Battelle district; as we'll as the
county in general.
Allow a humble citizen of this
district to say word on the subject.
There are several reasons why the
people of this county should support
the present proposition. Aside from
the fact of securing railroad facilities
in the county, which she certainly
stands in great need Of, it will add
to the wealth of our county. 1t is
estimated that it will cost $500, 900 to
construct the river road through the
county and $4,000 for the
construction of the Blacksville and
Morgantown road, making q total
of $640,000. which according to the
laws of our State, shall he taxed and

WE think some of the newspapers
of the State are doing the Faculty of
the University gross injustice, by
criticising the institution as a whole,
on account of remarks purporting to
have been made by one member of

accountable for the opinions of an
other, or body of men, for the acts
