Golden Grove Affairs - Ex-Overseer’s Statement.
To the editor – “The Daily Argosy”, Sir – the paragraph published in your last Friday’s issue is a fabrication of lies by some notorious characters in the district.
After I was checked by Mr. Sarrabo, I was told the Chairman to go home and bring all the cash and money orders that I had in hand but just before this the Chairman made me give a receipt to one Henry for seven dollars, knowing that I had not this amount I did not return to office but sent on the Money orders for $ 94, and some cents kept with me the $29 and some cents that I collected Tuesday. I went and got the seven dollars and gave it all up Thursday, morning, when I was told that I was suspended (by the chairman) the abominable lie that I left the district and can not be seen is quite unfounded, but we all know that the monkey that lost his tail advised the others to do away with theirs. It is nothing else but that the concoctors want every man character to be like theirs – Yours truly, Munro Rodney, Ex-Overseer.
