law? have been advised that there is
a cessation in the enforcement of this
law. am interested in this, because /,
as well as all other dog owners Of this
community have paid the dog tax for this
year. II there is a cessation in the
enforcement of this law, Is il Just case
Of quit until after the election, or has
the unpopularity Of this law given it a
permanent bnrial9 If the latter is the
case, what will become OF the money
already paid in? viii it be refunded to
those who have paid, or will they have
to bear this tax while the remaining

This dog tax law is very unpopular n
this section Of our County We fee
that it should be repealed. PROBABLY
our people would not have felt thi.

so perceptibly since 1909. Our taxes o
1910 considerably Increased over th,
year Of 1909. And then in 1911, we fine
taxes considerably more than in 1910
Yet this is net sufficient burden to oul
people there must be added to this tn,

Sacred to the memory Of my beloved
daughter, Minnie r. Compton, who left
us without any warning, one year ago
October 20.
We often sit and think Of you,
When we are all alone
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.
When ever we speak your loving name
Our eyes with tears are wet,
oh Minnie how we loved you,
And love can never forget.
But in our saddest moments,
One happy thought holds sway,
We will meet again dear Minnie,
And be happy some sweet day.
