THE SITUATION SUMMED UP.
BY the above obligation filed
with the clerk of the county court
OF Wayne county, the court house
removalists have MADE GOOD every
promise and inducemeut held out
by them in connection with the
question of relocating the county
scat at Ceredo. We have acted i'm
absolute good faith with the citizens
N III r. 4
day we circulated the petitions ask
ing your signatures for vote for
relocation. We were induced TO
circulate these petitions and enter
INTO the movement to improve the
situation surrounding our present
county seat at Wayne at the earnest
solicitation of a large number OF in
tluentIal and representative citizens
residing in every section of the coun-
tv; men who reason and think, aud
fully recognized that the present
county seat At Wayne was deficient
III every feature that goes TO the
making Of a desirable county town
for progressive county, such M
Wayne should be in her proud posi-
tlon as head of the list in the State
IN the matter of railroad mileage.
1t does not require diagram of the
condidi:ions at Wayne to satisfy
any citizen outside of Wayne itself.
that Wayne, after sixty three years
of effort, is an utter failure as
town, and worse lure ~ safe
or convenient location Tor a county
scat.
While all admitted the advapt
ages of Cercdo over Wayne, the on

removal was one Of cost to the tax
paying citizens. This question was
met at the time the petitions were
circulated, when the proposal was
made TO you that the entire expense
for removal and relocation would be
provided before the date Of the vote
and filed with the court. This has
been done, and the good faith 10
which it has been done cannot be
questioned by any honest man.
