Stone County Court Action Over A & P Railroad Taxes
At a Stone county court session last Monday, F. H. Heffernan was directed to sue the A. P. R. R. Co. for 1870 71 tax adjustments and portions of 1873 4 taxes remitted on alleged misrepresentations that a settlement with the railroad was reached at 60 cents on the dollar. Judge Farmer previously accepted the statement in good faith and faced public displeasure, but the community now believes in his innocence and supports him in the current move.

A Springfield letter from May 1876 corrects a Carthage correspondent’s misrepresentations about H C Young in the congressional race.

It urges publication to set the record straight.
