town of White Oak Springs If the courts have decided as the communication asserts they have the aid could not be lawfully granted and therefore "Chips" and the others who are opposed to executing the bonds need have no uneasiness they will not be required to execute them and all discussion of the matter is to say the least useless And if a majority of the resident taxpayers of the towfl did not sign the petition the aid was not granted and that is the end of it But Chips goes on to say that "it is also reported and on what appears to be pretty good authority that it is not the railroad company that constructed the road that are pushing this matter but that it is Earnest Meloy and Moses Strong who are engineering this job for their own benefit" Messrs Earnest and Strong are very well able to speak for themselves if they desire to do so and think the accusation implied is of the least consequence to them which they probably do not think For my part I wish to declare in this public manner through your paper that I have not received from the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul Railway Company a single cent FROM OUR CONTRIBUTORS our young men indulged in an exciting game of base balL The

It is true in the grandiloquent prospectus large prizes are announced but who ever heard of anyone who knew anyone who ever gained a cent by such institutions?
