am proud of. it, and thank Judge
Gaston and his Councilmen, of
whom I am the least, for taxing the
bull by the horns and giving it to us.
He who would tear it down, or
“pull down the dag,” step forth,
that we may all see what manner of
man he is. I wonder if his soul* is
larger than the proverbial mustard
seed, or if it is green with envy or
disappointed political ambitions?
I believe in fair play and an open
honest fight, and do not approve of
certain conglomerated political ele
ments now formed to defeat Judge
Gaston.
Respectfully,
OUR CITY HALL.
Editor Eagle: As it has been
talked around town and said in the
court house meeting by Judge Gas
ton’s opponents that-the City Hall
building had cost the pity about
$15,000, I desire to. give the facts
and figures as now on record in the
books of the city clerk, viz:

HOW IT IS.
We have just read the manifes
to of J.G.Hynds in The Eagle.
He was one of the building com
mittee of the city hall, and was
so thoroughly disgusted with the
people for re-electing him, and
himself with the work he had done
that he resigned before he would
stay m the building he had been
instrumental in constructing. The
trouble is not that the people
wish to go back to old days, but
that the imcompetency in the
building of the city hall has so
crippled them, they are stalled
and can't go forward.
