To Whom It May Concern.

I, Malichi P, Comer, Trustee, of Union township. Jasper county. Indiana, being informed that certain malicious parties of said township, have falsely published and put In circulation certain reports concerning the administration of my office as such Trustee, one of which said reports is to the effect that I had loaned certain public moneys to the amount of flve hundred dollars to one David H. Yeoman, and had taken as security therefor a mortgage on eighty acres of swamp land, in answer to which I beg leave to say that the report is utterly false, and request any interested party to consult the records of this.county. or Mr. D. H. Yeoman, in order to satisfy themselves as to the truthfulness or falsity of the report. And there is also a further report in circulation, published no doubt by the same malicious parties to the effect I, as such trustee, had not the moneys to pay off the several teachers of said townseip, for teaching the various schools cf said township the past season. In answer I will say that that report is also false, ana respectfully refer all interested persons to the various teachers of said township with whom I have already settled, and my bank . account with A. McCoy & Thompson, of Rensselaer, Ind. Respectfully,

M. P. COMER,

Trustee Newton Township. March 13, 1878.
