the several heads of state depart

our people perpetuated under
sound democratic rule.

our State Senator, Hon. J w

that he has held the office from
senatorial district. He has been
faithful to all the interests of the
great western part of our state.

the last Legislature in passing q
bill for repeal Of certain occupa.
ton taxes, which was vetoed by
the governor on the grounds OF
economy and we urge a re.enact.
ment of the bill by the next leg.
