THE BOND ELECTION.
The consolidated returns of the
bend election held last week in
this county did not. arouse enough
interest to bring out a vote suffi
cient to carry bonds. The vote
stood, 560 for bonds and 127
against bonds. It is necessary to
get a vote of 1192 in favor of
bonds to issue them.
Since the result has been an
nounced, many intelligent citizens
in different sections have urged
the calling of another election on
| the matter. ju response to this
demand the Board of Commission
iers held a special session yester
iday and called an election for
| April 26th. For particulars see
! the notice published in this issue.
THE CAMPAIGN LIAR IS
ABROAD IN THE LAND.
To the people of Montgomery:
I am reliably informed that a
report is being circulated over the
county that some time ago I stole
17 head of cattle from Mr. John
N. Miller of this county, now de
ceased. To those who have known
me from childhood, and who
know the history of my family
for fifty years past, it would not
be necessary for me to call atten
tion publicly to this malicious lie,
| originated for political purposes
and circulated with the sole view
of defeating me in the present lo
cal race for county officers.
But Montgomery county has
many new and highly appreciated
citizens whose attention I call to
this low form of depravity, inten
ded especially to mislead them,
and say that my character and
record are open and eusily scruti
nized. And I regret that any one
claiming citizenship in this grand
old county would get down below
the level of the brute, and for an}'
purpose whatever circulate a slan
derous and contemptible false
hood.
When sufficient proof is in hand
to show the source of this base
fabrication, the author will be
made public and Ins mo'ive lor
its circulation will be made plain
to every honest citizen.
Yours truly,
Jas. YV\ Adams.
DECLINED WITH THANKS.
To the people of Montgomery
County:— Owing to business con
tracts already made, I cannot
afford to make the race for Tax
Collector of Montgomery county
at this time. I leel very grateful
for the support offered me by my
friends and the people of the
county. Please accept my thanks
for same. Yours truly,
W. A. McKay.
