People are beginning to find fault
with the wood haulers. They pile tiers
of wood alongside of the plank road
while loading wood ;when along comes a
farmer with a load, who must turnout
in the mud while he is entitled to the
right of way, the plank being on the
right hand side of the road. It is
claimed that most of the haulers are not
even taxpayers, but that makes no dif
ference, they are allowed to travel on
the same, but they should be stopped
from obstructing the public road. We
are informed that the supervisor gave
notice to stop piling woid on the county
road, but it seems force most be used,
some saving, the sooner the better.
Some farmers are beainnina to feel
iueasy. They ar afraid fall sown erain
well freeze out if this weather holds on
