County Commissioner Miller was In town
for a short time one day this week and
while here made the statement THAT IF
MIGHT EXPECT NOTHING FROM HIM..
This Is a strange threat to make by man
who Is supposed under his oath Of office
justly and It certainly will not have the
effect of increasing Mr.. Millers vote in
the north end of the county. And a man
who would use public office to reek his
personal spite is hardly worthy of the sup
port of any fair minded voter no matter
in what part of the county he might live.
