Please allow me space in your COL
un,ns to answer piece printed in your
paper last week and signed BY A Tax
Payer In the ,dfst place Mr.. Neill, or
Tax Payer, says that when F. d. Hall
was treasures three. years ago he was
defaulter TO- lhe amount Of sl21 90, and
had nothing 70 pay it with. On that
charge l brand Mr.. Tax Payer as liar.
In The next place / never asked the
yo!ets Of Green Prairie to elect me to the
Office of assessor, nor did go to the
polls to vote, SO I:iconld not have prom
ised to turn over my assessors fees to
the t6wh, nor did I eyer agree 10 any
such hing, SO. Mr.. Tax Payer llal told
tf ht1selood. Nor did Ever pay
Mr.. John Denny e4o.sl, neither do I
eve the town $500. That is another
lie for Mr.. Neill Or tie tax payer to
swallow
A number Of years ago Mr.. Neill was
treasurer IF the town OF Green Prairie
and F. D.Hail was his successor. Hall
found that Neil had not given correct
account Of the funds in his hands, for
when he turned over the heoks he gave
Hall only $l.15, ANIL s'id ii was all the
town money in bis hahGs. However, lie
held baok5 $40, and then had brass
enough inAis face to. asR Hall why5he
did not tell him. Neiil, IF the $40 IN.
stead oftellirg the board Of supervisors,
then he would have divided the $50 with
fall. Mr.. Neill says that<F:: d. Hall
has been town clerk for'the past year,
and insit1ua.es that he has fixed the books
to suit himself and comes boldly forw ard
and defies any one to prove that he owes
the town anything. One year ago did
state in public at the town meeting that
as the treasurer had his books at the
polls THAT il '],e b'oks showed me to be
indebted to the town would. pay it in
five minutes. No Indebtedness was
shown. He now states that A K. Hall
Is town treasurer and school treasurer
| such is the case, and he makes the best
treasurer the town ever had. Mr.. Tax
Payer makes a great cry about school
money and claims $50 was appropriated
to improve the grounds. Money was no,
appropriated for that purpose, as the
books will prove, SO Mr.. Tax Payer is
branded with an other falsehood. AS TO,
the school funds, A. K. Hall has chal
Hanged any tax payer TO find that he is
short one cent Let them examine and
see for themselves, lido ~, rarc what
j. Taylor's Office shows, as we go by
the school books. In the next place Mr.
lax Payer says that F. D. Hall and 4.
K. Hall were rot elected by the ole
settlers Of the town. claim they were
elected by the old settlers, who knew
what an oily tongue friend Neill hat
and would not be deceived by him: HI
roped in most of the new corners to vote
for the ticket he was working for. If
should want to be defeated at tue polls il
this town I should get Mr.. Neill to work
for me. as there is one man il this towr
whom he has tried to elect for supervisor
two or three times, and he always come!
out behind.
Two or three years ago Mr.. Nei1l wa
supervisor Of this town, and there was .
certain road let by contract to be built
and wien the road was near completloi
MIR. Denny came to Mr.. Neill and want
ed him to accept the road. AT frs
Neil refused, but Dir. Denny gave hfu
So and he then accepted the road. Yo,
can sec that Mr.. Neill as public office
sold himself and the town for the SUN
Of 81, 50 at the next town meeting The
voters had no further use. for him ant
shipped him.. The Halls helped do il
that is the REASON Neill is kicking 81
against themnow. -:
In regard TO Martin Hall, Neill say
that the office Of Constable was too goot
for him, as a father who would upho|t
his Sons, and that Martin Hail said tina
he would rather pay SIS more taxes thar
have his sons lose their Offices. Mattil
Hall never; said anything Of the kind
My advice 10 Neill is to go and pa,
Martin Hall the money he owes him 70
making out papers during the past eigh
years while he, Hall, has been justice o
the peace, but Mr.. Neill being so hare
up it will have to be charged 10 prof
and loss. Perhaps Neill has forgotten
that he owes Martin Hall anything, a
there can be no doubt that Neill'
memory is rather bad since Mrs. Neil
dubbed him out of the girls bedroom
with = boot over the head. Now, Dir
Neill, shall wait patiently until hea
from you again. F. b. HALL:
