Our county commissioners are big
set Of hammer headed, egotistical
asses. They are not only that but
more. They deserve the name that
they have made for themselves all ov-
er the county, that of being pig head
ed, devoid of common seuse in the most
trivial matters. One of their last acts,
which shows well how they manage the
affairs Of the county, happened at the
last meeting of the board, when Mr..
Fleming, of North Branch, applied
for a license to sell liquors in that
town, paid in his money and furnished
good and sufficient bond according
to law. But the pig-headed board re
fused to grant the license for reason
best known to themselves; and now
Mr.. Fleming is selling liquor RICH
along, and the county will be tn
poorer by s5o-Rush City Post.
Occasionally there are some grumb
lers who are disposed to f.id faul
with the doings Of the commissioners
but if Mile Laos county had a boar
composed Of some such material as thi
Chisaso board, wouldn't there be som
tall bowling done.
