The trouble which csms yesterday is
of old standing. Sixty-six years ago
bonds we're Issued by Carter, Elliott, and
Boyd counties 10 pay for the construc-
ton of the Lexington and Big Sandy
Railroad. This road was never built.
The bonds passed into the hands of
innocent purchasers for value, and suit
was brought to require special levies OF
taxes to pay the interest and principal
on the bonds. fne levy was made and
for many years the citizens Of Cater
and Elliott counties have been bearing
the burden of the increased taxation.
The generation which voted the bonds
ia now dead, The original purchasers
are also dead, aud the second generation
now attempts to collec. the money from
the second generation from those who
voted the bonds.
1t is The opinion Of the citizens OF
Olive Hill that the bonds we're mere
speculation, even when originally Bought,
being sold at low value. The people
of the counties affected feel that they
owe nothing, as they did not create the
debt, and more especially do they feel
this. az the money would be paid TO per-
sons .who expended nothing for the
bonds.
Recently teal wa3 made of The power
to collect the taxes imposed for the pur-
pose Of paying the railroad claims. Judg'
ment was secured against NJ. Oppenheim-

goods was removed from the store to the
