but il there is. I'd like to give her
some sensible advice and have her call
this man off. l read in a book once

Neighbor James Clune's, the other

candidates. After freely discussing
the habits and merits of our neigh
bors, until your unworthy friend dis
covered that it was too late for him TO
attend church at Dundaff, where he
was missed in the singing, vote was
called on those present who would like
to gather up what we call taxes in
this town--which is about all we
farmers can scrapa out OF our farms.
Well, as near as l could understand, /

took some time. Jerry reported that

Then some one said there were other
offices to be voted for.
