IOIaI. 9,bZS.UO
From this you will see that there
is less than $500.00 with which to
run the town and in some years we
find we have to pay $2,50O00 worth
of bonds and in this year we would
not have a cent to use for repairs,
so under these conditions we do not
think it would be possible to exist
without getting into debt
People have said to us and some
eX-councilmen, we had plenty of
money when we were in office. Of
course you did and you spent it and
issued bonds for improvements. I'm
til about four years ago we got
levy of 435 mills where we now get
3.94 mills which is a cut we'll up to
81 100000 per year or in other words
yearly loss to us of nearly 1919.
What is running on less than four
year ago? Are the schools? Is the
county farm, is the county? Or are
We spending less for roads? We do
not want to criticize anything that
is right nor do we care to be criti-
cized or accused of wasting yours
and our own money.
The present council have never is
sued bond and never raised sal
ary, but some of our predecessors
have done both and have made i'm
provements of which we are proud,
but we feel that we are as economi-
cal as they. Some may say you
might have spent less for graveling
our streets, hut not a cent of our
local levy went for that as it was all
done with automobile money intend
ed for that purpose.
Now We voted and passed 2-mill
levy last fall to improve roads, but it
does not go into effect until the De-
cember taxes while this proposed 2
mill levy will be effective in June,
1925 only, so our taxes will be no
more in June if this is approved
than the extra added in December
which we so favorahly voted for last
fall.
Now if we are willing to give q
mills for roads We surely will give
The same to save our town from fl
nancial ruin.
AS stated this is published not
that there is any great amount of
criticism, but in reply to requests
from good business men and we 9-e
glad they want, and are glad to give
them, the facts.
We, the undersigned, the council.
clerk, mayor and marshal, will be
very glad to give further fnforma-
tion to any one who wishes 1.-THE

A ValIandigham Meeting In 1863

Mr.. w. G. Huffman, 395 Pavey av.
enue, has loaned The Dispatch a
printed story descriptive of great
Vallandigham meeting of the Demo
Gratis of Morgan county at McCon-
nelsville in 1863, which is interest
ing for number of reasons-chief-
ly in its showing that political cam
paign methods have changed greatly
since then.
The Democratic county committee
was anxious that great demonstra-
tion be made, SO offered a prize
to the township that turned out the
largest delegation and the one that
had the most unique and striking
hoat. James Huffman was mad :
float committeeman for Bloom town
ship-a man whose mind ran largely
to oxen-and he set out to ascertain
how many OK teams the Democratic
farmers of the township would loan
for the occasion. He found ten
such 'yokes."
One of the farmers, named Wood
hurn rendered his team on condition
that his son Ben, aged ten years,
should be permitted to drive it. To
his surprise Committeeman Huffman
said Ben should drive the entire ten
yoke team and he did. The 20 oxen
were hitched to wagon specially
contrived for the occasion. Long
saplings coupled the front and rear
aXles, and on these long wagon bed
with tremendous carrying capacity
rested
The wagon was covered with bunt-
ing, and seated in it were thirty-two
young women dressed in red, white
and blue, and a Buckeye seat hign
up in front was provided for young
Ben, the driver. Arrived in McCon-
nelsville it was found that the outfit
was too long to go between the
was blocked when it halted. The
town marshal protested whereupon
Driver Ben gee'd and hawed the
oxen around and lined them up by
the side of the wagon, accomplish
ing this without leaving his seat, a
feat which caused him to be shower
ed with candy and popcorn by ad-
miring crowds. Bloom township won
the prize
Death was dealt harshly with the

years ago and but one of the 32 who
