1t Is understood that other southside

Mr.. T. Preston Carson. of Forest

Mr.. Carson was positive that this
location would be most acceptable to

realizing that without the help and

Now, gentlemen, 1t Is useless for
me to say that l will endeayor to

that depends my pay for the work /

for each list.
Whether elected or defeated, I'm
not IN favor of hign assessments,
for we are already paying on a
higher assessment than the average
counties IN our state and besides
we are having so many crop fail.
ures on account of drouths and
overhows that we are hardly able to
pay expenses and live.
I'm IN favor of both individual

in favor of paying both private and

individual improvements to make

would he compelled to wait until a
more prosperous time to DO so and
