After voluntarily having paid taxes for that purpose
for a dozen years a new idea seems to have come to John

J. Il Cole will appear for county, township and local
bondholders who own the bulk or 5000 worth. The
principle of the case is Of wide interest. The railway
are said to be behind the suit.
All classes Of professional beggars from the cities
daily dropping into the towns here, attracted no
doubt by the crop reports. The people give literally to
them, to meet a new demand the next day. In the rural
districts tree agents and other canVassers are thick. One
estimates that he has lost two bushels of wheat
to the acreby agents and expert grain samplers. The
beggars do not go to the farms nor to residence parts Of
the towns, combining themselves to the business streets,
generally leaving on the next train.
