PERRY COUNTY.
Part of Indiana That Is Not Prosper
Gus and the Reason Therefor.

Cannelton Enquirer.
Scarcely a day goes by without from one
to five men depart from Perry county TO
seek a location in some other part Of the
State. Have you ever inquired into the
cause of this state of affairs? 1t is because
taxation in Perry county has become un-
beaTable, and men who have the ambition
to do little better than to break even are
getting away. They have learned that they
can rent land elsewhere for less than they
can pay the taxes on their own in Perry
county. There is no politics in this asser-
ton. Do you ever read in the county pa
pers of farmers or manufacturers coming 70
Perry county 10 locate? No you don't, and
why? Simply because sensible people are
not going 10 locate in community where
they are forced 10 invest their yearly profits
in tax receipt. We asked TO believe by
the politicians in charge OF Perry county
affairs to-day that laws enacted by our
legislatures are responsible for the condi-
lions which confront US In Perry at present.
Do not these same laws that govern US
govern the other ninety-one counties OF this
great State? Then. why Is IL that neighbor-
ing counties existing under these same laws
can advertise that they have paid of their
debts. while we. under an increased tax
levy, are sticking in the lurch? Our trou-
bles rest at home. We drive our best peo-
pie from US and strangers will not come
hcre TO adopt their deserted burdens. We

he is nearer to the Grand Army than any

 He was an intelligent man and was well educatedy having studied at Oxford He owned no property and left his pe.- sonal belongings to G. A. Ivey of this place. with whom he has lived for sey eral years. He was buried here this even- ing.
