y. b. ANDERSON. Snpt,
We hereby certify that We have this day ex
ainined the books and vouchers Of the office Of
the superintendent OF the Union County Asy-
Inn md have found the above report correct.
Decesaber 81. 1859. HALvoR KkUDsoN,

fHos. ROMAN,
County Commissioners
Now anyone IAN discover where
Mr.. Main gets $500 which he adds
70 the $29.6O, making $4,000 that
the farm ran behind. It is appar-
ent what q dirty, little tndcrhand
trick he is trying to make you be-
iieye, but he will be obliged TO take
III water and cool of il lie did not
sign his name to someone's writing
and composition besides his own.
II Mr.. Main had q little sense and
judgment Of his own he would not
make such reckless statemcnts-the
most ignorant a zee that he in
tended mischief when he takes the
$500 Of the Supt's salary and adds
it TO the 5000 the sum that was
lacking to make the farm self sup
porting last year. Now look and
zee for yourself, reader, where he
sage, land since that report was sub
mitted"-meaning the $529.66.
Where could he find such a report?
Only in his own wild fancy. Fur
tlier he states thai bills have been
presented aud allowed for the same
year to the amount Of 1901. That
10 impossible for I have my order
book and the stubs in that book
correspond with the bills and they
did at the time Of my settlement
with the board Of county commits
sioners. In regard to MI. Rannum's
board, / will say that ! have receiv-
ed every cent due tho county for
each term that Mr.. Rannum board
ed At the asylum, and eech year it
has been placed on my book to the
credit Of the asylum. II MI. Main
will mop the sweat from his pate
and keep cool until the last Of De-
cemhcr Of this year, when the IN
nual settlement between the Super
intendent and the Board Of County
Commissioners takes place, he will
find out what became Of the much
lamented board money. / would
like to ask Mi. Main where he OBJ
tanned his information that there
we're only seven inmates at the Asy-
lum last year when in fact there
was an average Of nine. / have no
doubt but what Mr.. Main thinks in
his own mind that he is the SUI
prerne Judge OF the management Of
the Poor Asylum and county affairs
In general, and that when he was
elected county commissioner he also
became ex-ofIicio Superintendent Of
the asylum. II is much better for
him TO remain in his own sphere,
and try and do his duty as 4 county
commissioner, and let Mr.. and Mrs.
Anderson act % Superintendent and
Matron Of the asylum while they
are here, and stop listening to street
gossip and founding his Judgment
on counss.ors who keep in the shade
and set him on TO do the work they
would not do themselves.
The Poor Asylum now contains
twelve inmates.
Yours Respectfully,
G. b. ANDERSON.
