We hope all our delinquenis will pay up

posed that the cunning Summer ana fsiI
will bring forth business aspect. upon
large scale, in hi. community. In he
frs, place, buildings Tor County purposes,
will be erected in his place. for The occu>
patton of the different County and other
officers, for the transaction Of business.
These buildings are needed very much,
and in fact we see no manner OF ee'Ving
along without them. 1t will be seen by
the proceedings Of the Board Of Supervl-
.or., in our las, issue, tina, comUiI'ee OF
Supervisors Slsley and Turner was ap'
pointed to employ Mr.. Phillips 10 DRAFT a
plan for building these Offices for the
County. and to make al estimate OF the
cos, OF The same. Judge ChspIlne has IS

a turnpike Odd TO Charlrstown as well as
H,rpers Re ry, and would be Of great
benefit to lie people living along the line
at 1t. Turnpike roads always benefit The
sections through which they run. Farm

would promote their own interests, by as
sisiing in constructing turnpike roads
where they do not now exist Compare
