School district No % took another
whack at voting bonds for new school

Some of the fellows down here have

have any more of their money to help

One of the events last week was the
marriage of d. w. stephens and
Miss Lolita Eastman. Rev. Cummins
performed the ceremony. A large num-
Der of useful and handsome presents
were given the happy couple. They are
two OF our most popular young people.
1t has taken Dave long time to per
suade Lottie to change her name, but
it Was time we'll spent for he has won
prize. We predict for them a success
full journey through life. AS soon as
they can complete their house they will
reside in Hazel ton.
If l was in deb,$2OO and had opayout
of taxes on $1,000 valuation and pay in.
terest also, and some fellow would come
along and Say here, Afford, If you will
give me 500 at the same rate of inter.
est you are now paying. thus making
your debt $500, will add another
ST. 900 worth of taxable property to the
list and help you pay the whole debt and
interest. DON'T you think it would be
good business sense to d. it? only in
| crease my debt one third and double my
power to pay. In other words, l only
have to LOOK after the payment of $3.50
| instead of 5000 as before. Anyone will
agree with me that this would be a good
thing for me to do, and this is the bond
proposition in a nutshell. Some say If
the bonds carry and the road Is built it
will hurt the business men of Hazelton
by having another town west of US.
Well, what about Kiowa AMI Medicine
Lodge, yet we fnd the heaviest taxpay
ers in these two townships working for
the bonds. They are not very badly scar
ed and why should we be?They belIeveit
will build up their towns and have the
| belief that it will do the same for Hazel
ton. have no fears of any rival town
west of the river. Hazelton will, as 10
| the past, draw trade from all directions.
She Is hereto stay and will get her part
OF the trade regardless of other towns.
