Keep up the movement for good

Princeton, our growing neighbor
is not slow to catch the movement OF
public spirit and progress. This
prosperous town almost unanimously
voted bonds for the improvement OF
that coming city.
Remember that the political gang
in Bluefeld has tried to throttle
your liberties by changing your char
ter that they might be longer kept
in power. They never consult the
people but they procee clandes-
timely to feather their own dirty
nest. Keep these things in your
memory good people when you come
to vote in the approaching election.

w. Atkinson. would tell all he

The ominous and odorous political
bird across the street is still Topping
its wings with as much complacency
as though the people did not under
stand its mutterings. The idea Of
talking about putting out contracts
Tor the paving of the streets when
it takes all the taxes for them and
their henchmen. Not a cent in the
city treasury-and yet they are at
attempting to fool the people by pre-

busy explaining their past record
that they will not have time to
steal votes OF anything else. They
ought TO be made ashamed of their
past record and present misdeeds
Bring out the facts regardless Of
their BLUFFS and pretensions. Make
them explain what is done with the
money that comes into the treas
ury Of this city.
