The County's Roads.
To the county court: For heaven 'b
sake get busy in Jnckson county. It
seems thero hns been n diffuglity be
tween tlio two road supervisors, Mr.
Hoso and Mr. True. Ono gentlemnn
went on nnd tho other gentleman went
off. Tho result is that our roads aro
in a worse condition than they were
when they first tampered with them.
Tho two large steam engines were
brought into requisition, they piled up
the sticky, put in the culverts and for
got to gravel them the result being
that between the two supervisor!!, prop
erty to the extent nf thousands of dol
lars is tabooed, it being utterly impos
sible for any team to traverse the roads
that hns been in contention between the
two supervisors.
It is high timo that the county court
got next to itself nnd removed the two
old fossils nnd give relief to the pnfient
rancher. WALTER MOORE.
