taxes is now settled beyond gu IS.
ton by the affidavit of County
Treasurer, 0 ID. Harris sworn
statement that he does not owe
one cent of taxes to Pike county.
Mr. TayIor's ill-feelinz toward
Judge Ely is well known and
when an article against the Judge
appears above the name of this

Heaven. Hell or future existence
the people who read it shou d
have better authority and one in
whom they have more confidence
than Taylor, before they believe
one word of it Mr.. Bretz has
made a serious blunier in his
race for Judge to have for his
chief lieutenants such men as
Taylor, the unbeliever.
A campaign of falsehood and
SANDER never did win, and his
tory will again rer eat itself in
the triumphant election of the
honest and fearless Ely, who has
been lied upon and traduced in
every way more than any man
who ever ran for Office in this
county. Honest men should vote
for Ely. N
