to save the expense of making a house to

without bringing financial ruin upon the
town sooner or later. We wish to say to
those that are inclined to keep their hands in

their ballot for some of the other candidates,

We labor under many disadvantages in the
contest, which we fully realize. We have but

them to dig ditch pick stone or feast at the

sit astride or royal robes to array ourselves
in while we are travelling through the valleys
and over the hills of the town of Johnson in
votes for next year. In conclusion wish
to say to you, one and all, that pay the bills,
that we rely more on your votes next Tues

We are not unmindful of the fact that the
town of Johnson owes us nothing in the way

parties that are trying to suppress

oppose their methods of stopping this
investigation. have done my part
to get the legal authority to say
whether we have got the disease or
not, and they go on to show that this
authority is not good, without an in

Now in regard to Mr.. Rogers cattle
having the disease all the proofs are
against him, as he admits two out OF
his herd were in such an advanced
stage OF the disease that they were
condemned as unfit for beef, or can
ners. Now that they do pass cattle as
fit for canning purposes where the
disease is not fully developed, at all
the big slaughter places is a fact that
all shippers know; also hogs with
trichina. Now if the parties that
are making such a fight against the
Board of Health and the State veter.

suppress the disease, it would have
been stamped out long ago. We have
