home market for the consumption OF
every product, and will encourage
the farmer, the iruit-grower and the

"a The city water-works will be
driven by this water-power, and the
power at present going to waste will
be used to create electricity TO light
the city of Wichita Falls with electric
light.
20. And the light Of our city will bC

More Figures that KNOCK.

And still the Johnson case holds on
fingers with a tenacity that would seem
to evince a settled purpose to get there
and help skin 'em.
Nels Olsen, with a modesty character
istic Of the performers in the John b.
Johnson tragedy, asks the comfy to
Fay him for taking care of Johnson's
stock forty-two days, forty two dollars!
This sWells the grand total Of bills from
Andoyer in the Johnson case to -FOUR
HUNDRED and THIRTEEN DOLLARS
and EiGHTY-EINE CENTS! and still
there appears q, beno prospect of a let
up IN the matter-the returns come in
slowly.
Ihnk how utterly ridiculous this bill
IS. Olsen was employed by Johnson, be-
fore he was " frozen, to- take care Of
ms stock; and he seeks to secure pay for
this private, contract, that has no connec-
ton whatever with Johnsonss sickness,
from the county.
OF course the Bo "
the bill, and thus again laid themselves
liable to the Andoyer Gazette's charge of
Partially that they "could not allow to
pass unnoticsd!" Nels Olsen SIS from
Andover. Selah."
Now, in all candor, we want to ask
the taxpayers of Day, what they think
OF a newspaper that will charge "parti-
lty" ON your Board of Supervisors for re-
fusing to pay such bills as Olsen's, and
the outrageous charges made by others III
the johnson case? Is the Gazette's pro-
fessioa of deep interest in the welfare of
taxpayers borne out by these indispat-
able facts? Isn't their claim marked by an
airy gauzIness that could not be materi-
aired into a respectable shadow? Are
You not thankful that you have a Board
81 Supervisors who know the right and
dare maintain and stand by it, despite
the adverse criticism of a paper that
yomits it's spleen againss them with

= effort to prostitute plain facts to d
base, unmanly purDose-is anything but
an honorable one, and is deserving of til e

every honorable, fair minded citizen.
The Andoyer Gazette man is, no
doubt, closely allied to the traditional
if~iefIiSey--the higher he climbs in his vain
and frantic efforts to belittle our excel
lent Board Of county commissioners, the
more lie displays his anatomy to his adj
miring friends.
