AMENDMENTS TO
THE CHARTED
OR BLUEFIELD
Kditor of The Dally Leader: —
J notice In your paper of yester
<lay a reference to the hill now
before the West Virginia Legisla
ture, making changes hi the charter
of the City of Minefield | also not**
that you say certain staunch re’ino
IlcatiH aro In favor of the hl'l and
you imply that Us purpose Is flnar.
cial recoupment and that yon favo.
its passage.
You do not publish this proposed
amendment to our City Charter and
you give absolutely no information
whatever as to Its provisions.
Have you ever read this hill? I>«»
you know, and If so, will you kindly
tell the citizens of Minefield what
Is the purpose in providing by till
amendement for the election of two
Councllmen at large? Isn't the pur
pose of this not financial recoup
ment, hut political recoupment?
Isn't it a broken dose of the sam«
medicine the Huntington “gang”
are trying to force the people of
that, city to swallow?
Was tills bill not Fathered by the
Minefield ‘‘gang” for the purpose of
trying to keep control of the Coun
cil even though a majority of the
wards should turn them out? Do
von think this same set of political
gentlemen who brought thirty-five
Ot’T OF TOWN NKOHOR8 to Blue
field in one gang last Spring and
ifter voting them at one precinct,
trltul to vote them at another, had
nothing to do with getting up this
hill?
IT the people of Rlueflold are to
have more officers to pay they should
at least bo Informed of the fact. A
great many good people may he de
ceived as to the purpose of this
amendemont. If there are any
good reasons for It lot the people
have them. The bill nmy have some
good features, as It covers a great
many different things, but I think
he people generally would like to
have the good features pointed out
and the reasons why they are good
stated.
CITIZEN.
Probably it would be well to watch
iho proceedings of the “gang” as
“Citizen” suggests. They generally
have something tip their sleeves
when it comes to legislation of any
kind.

In Order to move all heavy stock off of my door
preparatory to making extensive proponents to our

is the best on the market and if would be good business
policy even though you do not need the stove this season
?to buy during this special sale and carry over until fall
as we not only will not have such offer* to make at that
turn* but owing to the heavy advances all stoves
will cost from 10 to 20 per cen more .,c 1 season.
In Conclusion we call your attenton to our line of

A?i.'l request that if you are thnking of buying a range
