Is It Satisfactory?

Tbats the question that goes with every p rchase here. If it's not satisfactory, brim: it back today tomorrow, next week and get your money. It is this absolute assurance of fair dealing that retains our trade. Our customers know that 'money back" is not a crv set up to deceive the unwarv into buying, followed by all sorts of undue excuses and quibblings to avoid returning money on evspleasing purchasers. One of our maxims reads "For you to remain dissatisfied is to make us more dissatisfied." It isn't today's trade we're depending on.it's tomorrow's next week's next month's next years. We want you to be so well pleased with your treatment here and with what you buy here, that you'll come again and again. And we will remark right now that our efforts to please have been so uniformly successful that calls for 1 'money back" are rarely made. But it'& here, just the same, for any and all demands that may be made for purchases returned as undesirable.

LETTER FROM BEAN. Gliairmar. Tsrry of the Advisory Board Makes a Statement. 8'JI N ES V 1LLE, IND. , Nov. 21, 1899. Editor Pkoukess: Will you kindly pi mi it me to make au explanation through your paper? There !ms been considerable said iu regard to the trouble between the adv sorv board and trustee of Ik'an Blossom township. I want to say that the advisory board lias tried in every way to do its duly to the township with as little harm to the trustee as possible. The creation of township advisory boards is a new law for Indiana, and it is an indefinite law. This statement 1 make from what 1 ran learn of it, and from hearing opinions of Attorney -General Taylor compared with our local attorneys. Therefore, the board took what it thought the best plan for the welfare of the township. At the first meeting of the board there were facts brought out that the hoard was not looking for. So, at once, ,we found ourselves in somewhat of a predicament. Finding

that our trustee had kept no rec

ord of his accounts, we found it impossible to learn the condition

of the township. The advisory

board was willing to show al

leniancy and patience possible to

the trustee. As we did show b

adjourning from day to day, as he

demanded more time to comply with the law.

Great stress is laid on the cast

of the teachers' salaries. Mow,

I want to say that that was of

small concern to the board as

compared to other things. In

fact, that was a secondary matter,

and onlv came up after we had

done the best we could under the

circumstances in making the ap propriation. If the trustee al

leges (as 1 understand) that he had signed the contract with the teachers before the meeting of

the board. I will say the con

tract was not signed. He told

the board that he had concluded to pay double the per cent of the

grade of their license. Then

again he told us of another salary he might pay them; but 1 am reliably informed that when he did call them in and sign with them, it was at neither price he had mentioned to the board. So, if the people of Monroe

county think that this advisory

board ought to have laid down and allowed a man to remain in office that could not tell b lot .Jug at his books, nor by memory, six,

or even three, months after he

had paid off two notes, aggregat

ing nearly $600, what he had

given the notes for, or who had

given notes for a stone crusher to

the amount of $1,150 which could

be bought for less than half that

price, I think I am ready to try

some other county.

After due consideration the

board decided that there was one of two ways to handle this case, i. e., by impeachment or before the grand jury, giving, as we thought, the trustee the advantage. We decided to confer with some of the leading taxpayers as to what should be done. Therefore, we did send word to the largest taxpayers., wherever we could get word, to meet at a place and we would explain the condition in which wo thought things were, then for them to decide what to do. So it was de

cided to bring impeachment pro-

cere lings, which was done, and the public knows the result. The advisory board has been at considerable expense without any hope of a direct reimbursement. As to my signing my name as trustee on any paper is without foundation. As to the future for the board I will tate that we are not e.ourting any further trouble, but that we will be ready under all circumstances to defend ourselves. All we want from newspapers is the truth that we do not fear. I'll say right here t hat 1 was a subscriber for a Bloomington paper for fifteen years, but I think it did not give us fair play, so I, with others, paid up and ordered it stopped. Respectfully, John A. Terry, Chairman Advisory Board. - PLEASANT RECEPTION.
