spectively per month. A mother, a
and a greatgrandmother,
living in Cannon county for their ma
tural lives, who have been citizens,
and are mother and grandmother of
some of the tax payers, and then with |
old age and infirmities, senility, they
are allowed only four and FIVE dollars
a month to exist on the remainder of |
their lives. One shot from a 12-inch,
$500. co. and they 'anty' and boast |
of their failings, the standing army,
the one who does their numbering, but |
when it comes to giving poor old la
dy living by taxation, howl goes
up that would make the Goddess of
Liberty blush Would you in old |
age like for the ''Bench" to say you
can have S. 90 month to live on, and
if friends can't help you, die? Phar-
