V Harvey Davisson, trustee of Union /m. is another jasper "county farmer who has recently purchased an auto. He* has had the machine for a couple of weeks, having bought It second hand in Chicago, but while he has been in The Democrat office several times riihce then he had never mentioned if to urf.’ We guess Harvey hail stoppd outside 6f town with the auto for fear the newspapers would get onto It and say that he had made enough out of the trustee’s office to buy’ an automobile and' therefore the agltotion being made to haVo the’feoming legislatufe raise the per diem of townslip trustees from $2 per day to |3 per day is unnecessary. Harvey’s machine is a Buick,* last year’s model, with top and other accessories, and is a nice lookthg auto and shows but little wear.
