The taxpayers can be assured Of one thing
there is neither corruption nor extravaganza ia
the county government The accounts were
never 80 clearly placed before the people and IN
such a way that any fraud could be instantly
detected.
One OF the most important meetings OF the
Campaign win be held tonight At Rankes hall.
The meeting IL especially CALEB for men who
are employed in the trades and professions. Ace
Spring Will discuss economic q 1es.ions; he 10
earnest. thoughtful workingmsn and his re-
MARKS are always listened 10 with INTEREST.
O.her speakers will also DO there.
Charles voorhees,. in his speech q. Pomeroy,
said: "When sniveley and the rest Of the boys
get down there tOiymp.al they viii have TO set
up q secondhand store for the sale OF Old fur
niture." The present furniture is good enough
for the Republicans; IL Will be foolish to send
Democrats there who will sell 1t OF and incur
fresh expenses Tor new furniture.
There has been more progress made during
the last twelve months toward the opening up
OF new county roads than for years past snr.
veys have been made; :ae county commissioners
are familiar with the comparative needs OF each
locality and II would be productive of grea. in.
convenience TO farmers TO swap horses jus. now.
New men would have 10 begin the work all over
again; and the expense of travelling all over the
county 70 teach a nsw board what this one has
learned would be considerable.

was reekle.sly extrsvagaut because In clearing
/ the ground Tor the courthouse he used fourteen
horses TO L plow. This is told farmers Els an ex-
