RauIston which appeared in the News
last week, relative to the bond issue,
and it meets the hearty approval OF
every tax payer throughout the upper
end of Marion, with the exception OF
one man who lives in the Dadville dis
trict, but he can't even CONTROL his
wife. / want to congratulate Mr..
Raulston on his stand against the
mp by few who are attempting to
force this issue over the will of the
people of Marion county. They re-
side In the lower end Of the county
and have no respect for the tax payer
or for the people, and as far az the fu-
ture welfare of the people and the
hardpressed tax payers are concerned
they don't give darn. but l am a
star in, the northern and eastern part
of Marion county, and have had the
pleasure of reading some of your let
ters addressed to some of the guardians
of the PEG 'e.ss rights when the bucan-
~ Fl s.nere have tried to in
p 81 Or representatives, up here to
sust that stumped-up, grand and
glorious bond issue, which those par
ties are 80 eagerly attempting to in
fuence the Justices to vote for in this
term of the county court, but. yea,
verify, I say unto you Holsters down
there, you will make complete fail
ure. | think ! am pretty we'll ac-
quainted with all the justices of old
Marion. They are too sensible, too
smart, too far advanced in our county
business affairs to suffer themselves
led astray by such windy and puffy
doctrines as you bond advocatols are
attempting to stuff them on. am de-
termined, by the help of all liberty
loving citizens of this county, to let
you Holsters who ale attempting to
rope the good tax payers of this coun-
ty into further Indebtedness, go down
in defeat like unto the great Titanic.
Marion county has had experience in
appr0priating public money in the
bond business which will be remem-
bered for ages to come. Marion coun
ty has better public school system
than any of the adjoining counties ex-
cept Hamilton. All she lacks is a
better machine and better material to
put the system In operation Nothing
but good engineers at the throttle and
better service rendered will fill the
bill. Keep yourselves clean from at
tempting to juggle and influence peo-
pie with such letters as have been sent
out over the county to the members of
our county court, begging them to ac-
commodate them to little more
funds out of the pockets of the poor
tax payers, and to throw the county
into state of bankruptcy never to
get out of debt as long as you and
you children exist, Let every man
who has any influence, rise MP in his
community and protest against this
bond issue. If the ADVOCATES of the
movement persist, it may finally be-
come necessary to remove some of the
machinery to give Marion county en-
tire satisfaction. The Scriptures say
that he who is against us is not for
as. Keep this in mind and watch the
tide and movement of the July term
Of the county court on the bond Issue.
More bonds, more tax, is the correct
definition. Mr.. Raulston spoke the
truth in his article OF warning to the
tax payers. Hurrah for John T,
/ will be with him to the end as long
as such dangerous thing is before the
people and is advocated by the bond
lovers.
Well, prophesied six weeks ago
and warned all to look out for the
drouth up here, and to pillow deep. and
those who failed to heed my warning
will find they will be short lot of
corn at gathering time. Plow late and
deep while the sluggard sleeps. and
make corn to sell and corn to keep, is
good thing TO remember.
