Councilman T. H. Garrett spoke of

ber when the members of the county
court have been at our meetings, I
criticise them for that neglect,” he
said.
Town Outgrows Officers
"This town has outgrown the pres

“It is time that they step down and
out, and I am willing to ask them.
The papers have not done their duty,
either.”
He requested the editors to do
their duty.
"We also want a different method
of building roads. If we had a gen
eral supervisor, who knew his busi
ness. we would have a system that
would save our money, which is now
squandered among a lot of different
ones.”
