him since then.

She Needed 1t.

An old colored woman who had saved
ND a little money went to her lawyer
to consult with him about investing ii
proftably. When she was asked, says
Harper's Magazine, what interest she
expected, she answered in a very sure
and emphatic manner:
Twelve per cent, Mr.. Jedge."
When the attorney expressed some
surprise, she explained her position
thus:
"Well, jedge, 1 amt got much money,
an yo see l has ter git a big per cent
ter make up"

Council Explain

Is the heading of a statement which
made a week effort to clear the mys-
try in the politicts in the first ward of
Blakely as appeared in the last issue
of the peckville Journal, signed by
Charles Brong and James w. Smith
The person claiming signature is a we'll
meaning citizen. His ability as a con-
Gilman is known to the citizens of the
ward he represents. But the honard
possesser of signature James w. Smith
loaded down with imaginary of politi-
cal trickery in his endeavor to clear
the track for his choice must have
considered he was throwing boquets at
the voters.
James there will be nothing left un-
done which will give the voters a clear
understanding of the whole affair in an
honest and just way with as fair q
campaign as the citizens ever had both
in the field and at the polls. Thursday
next. If you and your colleagues who
called on VIM. Vandervort (The citi-
zens canldate) to intimidate him had
stayed away and attended your own
affairs, there would not of been so
many facts exposed on your choice
l mean by your colleague the gentle
man whom most of our citizens think
has a life lease on the present Office he
wholes.
But your call gave you only turn
down VIM Vandervort could not be
bluffed he is the metal we want to rep
resent us as councilman. AS to your
reference TO this being your last politl-
cal struggle, / never heard of you run
ming a struggle except In the first ward
of Blakely where there We're less than
800 voters and it was always known as
a republican ward by a great majority
and you made sure to be ON the strong
side
OF course Jimmy ] as one of the
would be politicians" admit after long
ixperieence you became somewhat
familiar with Borough affairs and ad-
vocated some beneficial ideas. But
James w Smith was first always in
consideration of the result the tax pay
ers got what was left
A true symbol of riperism which as
far as | can learn is your future am

thing but equal rights in our ward and

as VIM VanderVort has the same rights
