We,
the Board of Trustees of school district
No. 1, P.A. Lightfoot, Chairman, P.E. Morgan,
Theo. Bradford, Clerk, do hereby certify
that the above report is a true statement
of the financial condition of school district
No. 1.
P.A.
Lightfoot, Chairman.
Theo.
Bradlford, Clerk.
Sworn
to and subscribed before me by P.A. Lightfoot
this 29th day of June, 1889.
W.C.
Holt, County Clerk.
It
is wonderfully astonishing how full the Counmty
is of dead beats. The man who subscribes
for his county paper, receives it a year
or two and then writes the editor - please
discontinue sending your paper to my address,"
and says nothing about paying for the paper,
is a dead beat of the lowest order. There
are a number such, and we do honestly believe
their names should be published and the public
warned against them. The country editor earns
every dollar he receives, and the people
who take his paper ought to pay him promptly.
He is of incalculable benefit and value to
his county. Boom your home paper, that it
may boom you.
