The attempt of the Journal to show
| that Charlottesville is being robbed is
| erroneous. Here are the figures: We
| received from the state SO, 1892 and paid
| in $5,49497. We have paid back about
| SO 200 so that we still have TO our credit
| $500 That don't look like we had gotten
! the worst of it.. Some of the out town
ships did not fare so we'll. Scott town
| ship paid in $104.5S more than she re-
] ceived from the state and Sugar Creek
| paid in S357.O1 more than she received.
! It's the out townships that are paying
| the money back and not Charlottesville.

| capital out of this matter and at the eX-

| 2:14 over Lima's half-mlle track and saw
other races that were exciting and in

his third term as trustee of Purdue uni

| President Smart, his work and efforts
| have done more to strengthen and build

| person. He has Iabored zealOusly and
| earnestly with no hops of reward further
! than the success of the institutiOn.-La-
