C, Aug. 3, 1927. Mr. Ira Plemmons, City. My dear Mr. PUmmomi Your article on the serious tax problem in Madison County were most timely and right to the point. Your presentation of the situation show much thought and study, and I heartily commend you for having the "guts" to say what you did re gardless of whose toes were trodden I fully intended to build a home here that would have been a credit to the community. Then, as every T 'careful man will do, I investigated the all important tax question and found the rata prohibitive. We must unite and elect represen tatives who will fight for economy and tax reduction. Count on my sup port morally and financially. Most sincerely, W. G. JOHNSON. Mr. Johnson is a splendid gentle man and well fixed as to money, but he will not spend it here or elsewhere on account of the excessive taxation If Mr.. Johnson had located here, he would have spent many thousand dollars, but he prefers to rent for what time he is here. We are sincerely sorry Mr. John son, that conditions will not permit you to buy in our town at this time, but we do hope that these conditions will be changed and taxation will be lowered. 1 thank you for the frankness of your letter and appreciate the kind ness of your expressions toward me.

PLAY AT MARS SATf "Borrowed Money." the play "to Hp riven at Mars Hill Saturday night, by Walnut talent for the benefit of the Walnut Baptist Church, is well worth attending. Aside from patron-, izing a most worthy cause, the play is : well worth the little price charged, The play was put on in Walnut last Saturday ,night and was enjoyed a- gain Tuesday night, it was given at the school auditorium and was well done. The characters all took their parts well and the girls' New York costumes were really beautiful. Of course they are amateurs and one should not go expecting an enter tainment by professionals, but the publisher of this paper thoroughly en joyed this play. Below we give the cast of characters. - 'Pa, what does it mean here 'Diplomatic Phraseology'?" by "My son,, if you tell a girl that time stands .still while you gaze into her eyes, thats diplomacy.

Two men went up in to the temple to pray; the one a Pha risee and the other a publican. 11. The Pharisee stood thus and prayed with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not ag other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. la. And the publican, standing afar 0ff, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, savin finH ho t a sinner. 14; I tell youA this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalt eth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be axalted. PRAYER. Without thy mercy, O Lord, we are all undone. None of us can plead our own merits. We have all sinned and fall short of thy glory. We throw ourselves upon thy grace and forgiveness. Amen.

Out in Illinois last year the dry forces allowed them, selves to be persuaded, through their fear of wet triumph, to support two highly dubious characters, Small for "u omim mi ocuowi. n was known at the time that bmall wa3 ulluer cnargw "A naviujf ruuau the interest on State funds placed in h,s keeping while he was treasurer J IIUUVIO) Uiiu iv vv a uiiv " u VltHV Smith had accepted immense cam paign contributions from Insull, the public Utilities magnate, while Smith was in a position to grant Insull fav ors at the expense of the public. What is the result? Only a few days ago Small was compelled to disgorge $650,000, money which belonged to the people of the State of Illinois; and a strong effort, which has a good chance of success, will be made to bar Smith from the United States Senate on the ground that he is not morally fit to sit in the body. The ' consequence is that the wets are hav ing a field day, and public confidence in the Anti-Saloon League of Illinois has been badly shaken up. The elec tion 'of Smith and Small has turned I out to be more of an advantage to the ' wets than to the drys. So it is always f bound to be. The election of a candi. i data tainted with corruption can ne. . ver be real triumph to any cause.
