To the Editors Of TIE Forrest City Times:
From time to- time there has an article
appeared ia the 81. Francis County Demo
crat written 10y one Il. 81. Roy. commouI,
known as Pony advising the people a. to
i.seir duties at the coming election. From
sune cause or other the noble Pony is an
ayowed enemy of mine. but as think the
people Know me fully as we'll a. they do
him. his little harangues ia the newspaper
will not have much effect.
don't think he Will set the earth FIRE
any where he goes along.
the grievance lac hoids against me Is
because | collected poll tax OH Ut Bob
Elliot after his death. This Was in strict
couformance OF the Jaw. The gentleman
was assessed before his death, and had
to collect that the same as any other tax
The property he lett was good for all
tax charged for that year.
There is a Whole lot OF things that Pony
don't know pertaining TO the duties OF =
collector.
AZ Is not my business. under the law to
scratch OF or fail to collect an, thing that
- charged 10 me 10y the clerk. hence III
,olecting mans tax, though he be dead,
! haya to collect the poll tax also.
This Is an Old chestnut that happene..
two or three years ago and looks, TO me.
like the noble Pony should have run it in
The ground before this time.
IL he will come down and examine the
hooks. | will show him where the estates
1T other dead men have paid their tax he
s les Dir. Elliot. and in all the bunch the
be,oyrd Pony is tile only man that hss
ra sed a howl II is only in keeping
though with this sort OF cattle. Their
stock and trade is hot The greatest good to
the greatest number, but TO prowl around
over his neighborhood and Try to biackeb
the character of an honest man.
| think the nabIe Pony should be SEM
to The legislature and let him have the law
CT nsed IN this particular to suit his own
wise self.
want to say to the gentleman that
have ony done my duty and expect To de-
30 rs long as live. though il may not
suit him. lie Is not quite A. smart as jim
Roberts. although his whiskers resembles
Jim's very much.
