Ananias in his Chronicle says the
big four McCrory, Hendricks, Bon
ham and Aspinall we're seen" solicit
ling votes for Democracy. "A man car
always see what he is looking for
and Swift says Although the devil
be the father of lies, he seems, like
other great inventors, to have lost
much of his reputation by the con
tinual improvements that have been
made upon him." The quotation
proves Ananias is one of his improve
ments or in other words he beats the
devil.

gas plant for more thana year and is
now preparing to expend $4,000 in
building huge gas reservoirs. The
