Judge ID. A. r. Crum, our thanks and
appreciation for the able charge to
this body, which was deemed very
appropriate. We fully realize that it
takes cooperation of the various
County Officers, the Bar and Citizens
to enforce law, and we would sug-
gest that all Citizens willingly assist
in this work when called upon, and
we believe that this cooperation is
being manifested in this county.
We wish to thank our able solici-
tor, Hon. J. B. Wall, TO ribs advice

treatment given us during our de-
alterations.
We recommend that all new en-
terprises locating in our city or
county employing twenty-five men or

be able to derive as community
