Visits Logan, and Discusses the Roat
Question.
Mr.. Editor; am "Haw Eater
of the way back ancestry and re
side in the western part of the
county and like the Mohomedan
going to Mecca usually make &
pilgrimage once year to Loga I
to pay taxes aud get acquainted
with candidates. 1t is useless fol
me to stop to tell you that Hooking
is a ruff and hilly county and des
titute of roads; you have heard o.
these things before. Well, to give
you pointer of how to get there
will relate some circumstances ]
remember once of wading through
mud and making short cuts across
fields and crossed gulleys and
clambered over rocks till l came
in view of Logan very late in the
day, more strained than q canal
horse. also remember that
perambulated the streets of Logan
to get knowledge of the "wise and
unwise" that are in power and are
popular, when I spied traveller
coming on the back ofa small stead
that had on coat of yaler mud,
with its sides collapsed like leaky
bellows and the rider also was a
tall gaunt figure wore long hair
and carried unshaven face with a
yaler coat on and his feet nearly
touched the groGnd. He was
veritable Rockey mountain "Grea-
SER" He haulted at the court
house hitching rack and tied up his
horse TO "stake" oats, and then re-
turned his steps for the County
seat of Justice to see what his taxes
were 80 that he might ascertain If
he would have money to spare to
get his dinner and provinder for
his horse. But before he could get
into the money changers office, he
was accosted by Mr.. A. who shook
the yaler color out of his coat and
told him he was so glad to see him
come to town again and asked him
how he prospered, and if there had
been revival is his church; wheth-
er the political fences of his town
ship were kept in good repair.
swell FRIEND" says Mr.. A. "not to
take up your valuable time want
to inform you that / am candi-
date and knowing your fidelity for
party loyalty and uncompromising
aggressiyeness that makes you a
wheel hoss out there 1 promise you
in return for your labor that | will
build pike out there, you will get
lots of soft snaps; if am elected,
may be you will want to be p. NJ.
of Goose Creek, If so just call on me.
Greaser: "Well, Mr.. a. 1 am very
hungry but to be honest with you
will say have been patted on
The back so often by Office seekers
md had pleasant things hispered
n my ears till l can't help thinking
about the Devils Offering Eve an
Apple, to show his kindness. To
answer your query about the
church l would say we have sea.
IONS when we forget our poverty
md our sorrows, but we never have
seasons of good roads, and as for
politics we are none the better off
~ vigilent adherence to any polit-
cal creed; experience tells us that
We must seek virtue out side of the
anks of vice, that politicians farm
or gain and will trespass for votes.
lime and circumstances prove to
IS that Logan people have little or
10 apparent interest beyond their
own and vicinity like the New
FORK Bulls feed upon the earnings
f the County. The good roads
inject has been before them for
iscussion and approval for 2 yrs.
ut nary Logan Citizen has voiced ,
ne sentiment. Have we the least
eason to hope for any encourage f.,
lent from Logan? Will we eter-
ally have to hear taxation, burd-
nsome taxation to feed an enemy
our prosperity ?"
