Mirny Voters,
‘ia , July -7, f*sb
To the People ofMcDnffio County:
Having consented to become a candidate
for the Legislature, I deem it altogether
proper that my fellow citizens, whose suff
rage I most respectfully solicit, should
know my views upon the questions now ag
itating the public mind.
First, I am iu favor of the prohibitory
law believing it to be essential to the best
interests of the people. I am opposed to
the principle of high-license, as being class
legislation —tending to the creation of mon
opolies in favor of the rich against the
poor.
Secondly, I am opposed to any legislation
on the Stock Law, deeming the present law,
which leaves it to the voters of each coun
ty, sufficient, end should be satisfactory to
all parties. Respectfully,
. E. C. Hawes,
Tax Notice.
The Tax Books for 18-84 are open and tho
Tax Collector may be found at the Court
Houre. Parties wh failed to make returns
to the Receiver can make them to me.
Sep. 8, 18S4-3t I. G. Worbill, T. C.
The District High School.
Ih view of the fact that the last sermon
preached by Bishop Pierce was in the inter
est of the High School in this place, no
more appropriate recognition of the great
ness and goodness of the man and his last
public service, could bo suggested than to
honor his memory by changing the name of
the Institute to tho “Georgo F. Pierce High
School.” After all, there is much in u
name ; and that of Bishop Pierce, enabled
as it is with the highest and purest and
grandest achievments of Christian charac
ter, will remain a blessing and a beuedic
tion to coming generations. His name
above all others will inspire in the hearts
of the young u love and veneration for a
life and character which all should emulate
though none can hope to surpass. Bishop
Pierce was a Methodist, but ho was the
most tolerant of men towards the opinions
of others, and his love and charity embrac
ed all mankind. His very name would be a
standing rebuke to that spirit of narrow
minded sectarianism which is a curse toauy
community wherein it may exist, and is al
ways a bar to the growth and usefulness of
ail benevolent institutions. The Trustees
of the l)i trict High School can contribute
much to the success and popularity of that
institution by making the change suggested.
