Marcus McGillis, Senator

Marcus turned out to be a real good lawyer and a better politician. He run for Harper council member and won early on around 1956. Then he run for state senator and he's been there ever since. I reckon he's represented Harper pretty good 'cause he ain't done much. That's what we need, peoples staying out of our business and Marcus done that real good. I think the only bill he ever brought up were one to make sure all horses was shoed. Ole Lem Wethersby used to tease him a lot. He asked Marcus if he ever considered bringing up a law to have flies shooed too. Marcus didn't laugh; at least while we was looking his way.
