T H A T some people knock whether there
is anything to knocK about or not. Some of
them just knock for something to do.
T H A T there is the chronic knocker who
just keeps doing the only thing he knows he
can do well, he knocks morning, noon and
night. Somebody should jar the knock out
.of him.
T H A T there are many different kinds of
knockers.
T H A T there is the occasional knocker.

Never before in its history has Jacksonville been better able to serve as
the county seat. Practically everyone has access to an auto and Jacksonville is
on a paved highway which connects with all portions of the county by hard
surfaced roads. Yet Medford wants the taxpayers to vote to move the court
house to that city and thereby add very heavily to your financial burdens.
Ever since the dawn of history the strongs have oppressed and crushed
the weak. This is the attitude which Medford is assuming in their demands
for the county seat. Jacksonville is a small city and Medford is large. They
want to take from Jacksonville to add to their already greater portion.
And
they want the taxpayers of this county to foot the bills. Are you going to do
it friends? Are you going to dig down deep into your pockets and aid in this
imperialistic move on the part of Medford?
Think long and concentratively
upon this question. We want you to be fair with yourself and fair with Jack*
sonville.

When you do, you will see the folly of a move we are sure.
If you do, be sure and vote to retain the county seat at Jacksonville. Such
a vote will mean the saving of many dollars to you.
T H A T there is another class, the kicker.
T H A T often when they kick they have a
good reason.
T H A T kickers who do not kick for the
sake of kicking, but kick good and hard
when the home city boosters go to sleep on
the job, are the kind of kieqers that do some
good.
EVERBODY SHOULD KICK AND
KICK GOOD AND HARD WHEN THE
COMMUNITY REQUIRES IT.
