NOT CORRECT.


peared the following conglomera.
ton of untruth, misrepresentation
and nonsense:
In the matter OF the County Treas
urer's bond, the Board laid the sub.
lect over until Monday, November Is
at which time they will hold another
special meeting.
Major Cavanah, Chairman OF the
Board of County Commissioners, was
in Mountain Home the day after the
meeting and stated that it was pri-
vate opinion among the members OF
the Board that they had placed the
bond OF the County Treasurer too
high. He also stated that the mem
beers OF the Board are agreed now that
they made serious blunder in not
raising the Tax Collectors bonds, in
order TO justify the raise they made
the Treasures. These statements
made by Major Cavanah are true.
They express the views that any cen.
sible and fair minded man should
take of the subject. We compliment
the Commissioners on their frankness.
These views also embody all that
Mr.. Miller and his friends contended
for, that 10, first, that the bonds were
too high; and second, that there was
no justice in raising the Treasurer's
bond without at the same time raising
the bond Of the Tax Collector.
The Commissioners have acknowl-
edged their mistake like honorable
and high-minded men should, and
now we suppose our esteemed con-
temporary at the Bar viii, follow their
example and do likewise.
Last Tuesday Messrs. Ethel and
Stockton, after having read it for
the first time, stated in the presence
Of a number of gentlemen that, so
far as they were concerned the
above lines from the Mail did not
contain one word of truth. So
much for "the serious blunder"
these gentlemen had made.
Major Cavanah is now in St.
Louis and consequently can not set
himself right before the people re-
garding the utterances of the Mail.
The BULLETIN, as well as many
friends here, is 10th to believe that
Major Cavanah pursued such a vac
illating course as to unbosom him.
self to Mr.. Miller in the manner
above quoted. We do not believe
he is man that would "eat dirt"
and misrepresent his colleagues of
the Board of Commissioners in such
a contemplate way as indicated
above by the Mail.
The Commissioners simply COM
piled with the Statutes in the mat
ter of bonds with every county Of
fetal, and if Mr.. Miller could not
stand the raise he should have re-
tired gracefully and let some one
Else step in who could give the re-
luired bond, instead of petitioning
ihe Board to not accept his resigna-
ion but to reduce the bond to $15,-
)0O-as was the case at last Tues
lays special meeting.
We reiterate that we do not be-
ieve Major Cavanah authorized
Mr.. Miller or any one else TO pub
ish the above as his sentiments,
While in Mountain Home, and we
expect him to explain the affair
when he returns home, for no man
AN persue vacillating, two
ided, on-the-fence course and re-
ain the esteem of the honest and
lardy sons of toll who inhabit these
'olden mountains. Such unpracti- |
al, unstable men soon run their |
curse. In short, politically and
therwise, such a man in this COM
nunity is named "Dinnis" forever
more.
BY reference to the proceedings
I last Tuesdays special sitting
I the Commissioners it will
g seen that Judge Geo. d. Golden
Ias appointed Treasurer and ex-
fiicio Public Administrator for FL
nore county. His application was
ccompanied by bonds signed by
lany heavy taxpayers to the ex-
INT Of $28, 000-more than cover
ig the specified figures of $4,000,
nd we firmly believe he would
ad no difficulty in procuring bonds
'r double that amount.
The BULLETIN compliments the
commissioners" on their choice for
ounty Treasurer and congratu-
ties the people of Gilmore in secur-
10 such an honest and upright
IAN for that responsible position.
