TO THE DEMOCRATS
OF 0BION COUNTY

1t has been stated, for what pur-
pose do not know, that am receiv.
ing salary from the Government in
addition to the salary attached to the
office of Trustee of Obion County. In
justice to myself l will state that
never received one penny from the
Federal Government other than as a
private soldier. While the pay I got
was small, it sIfficed. was satisfied,
and I have not received one penny
since my discharge. If have Lot re-
ceived Federal monies since my dis
charge, 1 ought not, in fairness and
justice, to be taxed with and accused
of it,
1t is charged that l have not been
much in the Trustees office since l
assumed the duties of the office. In
reply to this, appeal to the facts;
it has been about IL months since /
was sworn as Trustee of Obion Coun-
ty. Nearly six months of that time,
1 have been in hospital seeking re-
lief from wounds received in France.
l cannot think that it will find re-
sponsive echo in the hearts of the
people to attack me and deprive me
of a second term for such a reason as
this. l take it for granted that the
real inference intended to be implied
in charging absence from office, is
that the duties of the office have
been negleced. leave to each indi-
vidual in Obion County, who had bus
iuess at the office of the Trustee. If
his business was not attended to with
promptness end a courtesy and a
personal kindness and consideration
that challenged his good will and
commentator. l hope from now on
that my health will be restored to
the extent that l can give the office
my personal care and attention. /
assure you that it is both painful and
embarrassing for mo to have my
health and the causes of lack of
health to be dragged in as an issue
in this campaign.
1t has been charged that did not
name soldier boy as my deputy. No
soldier boy ever applied to me for the
position. But, the first offer / made
for deputy, made to soldier boy,
Mr.. Thurman Talley, who did not
accept it. In fact, there never was
but one applicant for the deputyship,
and that was Mr.. James e. Cox, now
my opponent in the Trustees race.
The campaign will soon be over,
and owing to my physical condition,
it will be impossible for me to see all
thevoters before primary election lay,
August 6, 1921, and earnestly So
licit and will appreciate your vote
and. influence for a nomination for
second term for the office of Trustee
which l have now held IL months.
Yours respectfully,

the pleasing impression one got of
it from Miss Louise's rendition.

followed by MacDowell's Witches

displayed unusual skill in lingering

ability for emotional expression was
given better opportunity in the
next number on the programme,

Grieg's Butterfly" delighted the
audience and it was with genuine re-

truly delightful number the recital
was over.
During the recital, Miss Louise dis
played her musical versatility by

Miss Jones, in little talk to |
the assembled friends, told them that |
Miss Louise had finished the seventh |

a teacher was about to cease.

going to expect great things of her
