I The following is a letter written and sent us for publication to the people of Adams county, wit’ 1 the signature of Trustee C. C. Leer affixed: In regard to the editorial published ! in the Berne Witness in the issue of : Friday, Januar y 26, 1912, w’hich de-I dared that I appropriated funds unlawfully- to my salary during the past \ year 1 beg leave to make the following explanation: in the first place, 1 never did and dp not now intend to defend by own actions, as I am known to every man, woman and child in Monroe tow nship, ‘ and I am perfectly willing to submit my r own honor and integrity to their j judgment. TL-j records of the town- ■ ship are public property and I cordial- \ ly invite one and all to inspect them at any and all times. Beside, the state board of accounts is very’ precise and accurate and will pass over j the report. This will clearly demon-i itrate if anything is wrong, as was shown when O. F. Gilliom drew’ four dollars and sevent-five cents, which i was not authorized in the previous: year and which he was compelled to refund. But in answer to the unjust, unwarranted and msi’cious attack made ii: said article upon C. E. Stuckey, Silas Sprunger and Peter Rich, three of the most respected, honorable ana industrious farmers of Monroe' township, who are characterized by Editor Roher as three common weaklings, who lack manhood enough to do their duty and sanction everything I say or do, and in response to the righteous indignation of the community, including some of Mr. Roher’s own associates, who deplore his utter lack of principle and justice, as well as his vindicative maliciousness by w’hich ne makes an instrument out of nis entire editorial force to gratify his selfish personalities against all who refuse to be dominated by him, I may add that the said article is a series of simple misconstructions which plainly show the stupidity and ignorance of its author. For example, he classed a large sum. which was earned by and paid to others as paid to members of my own family in order to swell the total and he also insinuated that I and members of my family drew moneys which were not duly earned, which is a contemptible falsehood. However, as Mr. Stuckey, Mr. Sprunger, Mr. Rich and myself have ample cause to regret, we are not the first men whose honest motives hr ve been characterized as evil intentions, and acts of lawlessness by this unprincipled, would-be dictator. Posing as a religious defender and political reformer, he does not hesitate to' deliberately villify, slander, undermine and if possible, destroy, any one w ho demonstrates signs of independent leadership and hesitates to subscribe to his infamous domination. C. C. BEER, Trustee Monroe Township. ~ BLAMED A GOOD WORKER. “I blamed my heart for severe dis-1 tress in my left side for two years,"' writes W. Evans, Danville, Va., ‘but I know now’ it was indigestion, as Dr. King s New Life Pills completely’ cured me.” Best for stomach, liver and I kidney troubles, constipation, headache or debility. 25c at the Holthouse Drug Company. o LOST—Ring.

THE 1912 OVERLAID OVERLAND MODEL 59T FIVE PASSENGER, S9OO. A CAR FOR PARTICULAR PEOPLE DY Particular people we mean those folk who demand in a motor car those elements which determine its real worth. After all is said and done service is the one thing to buy in an automobile. Style and design are matters of fashion’s caprice, paint, varnish and trimmings are subjects of taste, but the all-important factor is servicebuy this one thing first and last-all we ask is a critical examination of the Overland.
