Senator Garland and G.. A.
Epply Of Lebanon CAME in Mon
day evening, registering at The
Abbey, and the next morning
went down to Beaver creek to
put in several days fishing and
hunting. They will be guests of
John Guiliiams. This Is a treat
Tor those who wish to get away
from business and have a few
days rest at a farm house where
you can get the rest that comes
from being associated with the
farmer at his home. Mr.. and
Mrs. Guilliams are past their
84th year, are hale and hearty,
own a large tract OF land, have
a good home and are perfectly
contented. Mr.. Guilliams says
the new people who come in
before their tracks are cold, try
to run the country. He thinks
the pioneer who came here
when the country was new and
who opened the trails and built
the roads and laid the founda-
ton for a higher civilization
should have something to say
about our advancement. The
pioneer don't believe in BOOM
ing, boosting and running the
country in debt beyond its needs
and its capacity to pay. A few
years ago a few men undertook
to bond the county for 5000, 900
to build automobile roads, ETC..
but the people-the taxyayers-
came together in a mass meet
ing at Toledo and put a quietus
on the matter. The gentleman,
VINO was one OF the leaders In
the affair had been In the
county only a short time and
presumed to know more about
what was best for the people
than they knew for themselves
When defeated he sold out
what little he had in the county
and left for the East, joined the
Church and now he is engaged
In preaching the everlasting
gospel to a sinful world. He
may be more successful in this
Kind of work. The people are
patient and long suffering and
VIII not complain for a long
time of schemes for money
making, but when aroused will
retire the public officer who is
guilty of squandering the peo-
pies money. Honesty is the
best policy. Be careful how the
public business is transacted
and how the public money is
expended. 1t behooves every
taxpayer to be posted in the law
and to know when he is being
swindled. Eternal vigilence is
the price Of good government. .
