want to congratulate the action of the
recent county court as to tue stand
and Diet armination TO defeat the bond
issue, which is fully Endorsed by over
two-thirds majority of the tax payers
of Marion county, We think the conn
ty guardians have acted wise and at
present do not need any further lee
ture or instructions along this line.
We are of the same opinion as was full

article which appeared in recent is
sue of the News, and are not likely to
change our minds during President
Wilson's administration. We know
that democrat under this democratic

take the big eye and is really not
fit subject to dictate and educate the
tax payers in any way just now or to
drill the republicans, either, for she

Grandma Thomas asked me to insert
this paragraph for her to the reading
public for her satisfaction. She says
that she got licking and whipping
at the extreme age of nearly 80 years,
at the hands Of her grandson by him
committing assault and battery on her
with his fist and an open slap in the
face and jam against the wall. am
not responsible in any way for this.
The aged lady hands this in for publ

so, to impeach his grandmother |

cate the accused; if not, it stands as
true. The burden falls on defendant. |
Would be pleased to give statements of
facts on the other side of issue if hand

The Cedar Springs public school pat
rons have stirred up hornets nest
that they can't whip out and which,
perhaps, won't die out for the next 90
years over some discrepancy grown
out of a neighborhood fusilade which
has been on hand for some time over
at the principal of
