The supervision of Lewis Whitman, will
soon be in full blast. Hope it will al.
ways have plenty to do.....John Rum.
baugh is putting up coEy little residence
In the north part of town. John and his
bran-new wife are commencing to do dou-
BILE blesscdness in style that means bust
ness at once. Oh well do we remember
when we embarked in that hazardous en-
terprise when we and our dear Dulcina
| Alvina commenced to try walking hand
in hand through life. Affairs we're alto
gether different then than they are now.
Wood county was then densely covered
with the primeval forest, but labor was
then at par, and by industry and frugality
we always kept plenty Of meat in the meat
house and -four in the hou r-barrel, and if
John and Elite will go and do likewise
they will always be happy as ven. Tile
Supervisors have commenced taking their
little walks, notifying the sturdy farmer 10
assist in making the roads almost impas-
sable for the next six months; and wby
impossible? 1t has always been the opin-
ion OF our people that the present system
of working the roads is fraud. One rea-
son is, the Supervisor does rot try to have
the road put in proper shape, and another
reason is he couldn't accomplish his OBJ
ject il he did try. Big assertion to make.
Mr.. editor, yet firmly believe it a true one.
and | also believe our roads will never be
what they should be under the present
system. My idea OF business in this mat
ter would be, to do away with working out
pole-tax and require them to pay the req
nislte amount in money, and iudiciouslv
lay out the same for making our roads
according to contract just as we want them.
But as it is, "What is eyerybody's business
IL nobody's business. ..... One by one we an
nounce the departure of those who helped
lay the foundation of Perry township, and
well can we say, gone but not forgotten.
Mr.. George Mccormick, one Of the oldest
settlers of Perry township, died last
Monday morning, June Sd, from the effects
OF typhoid fever. Mr.. Mccormick was
born at Galopolis in the year 1915. He
removed to Wood county when he was 8
years old and has been living in the town
ship 40 years. His funeral services took
place at the NJ. f. Church on Tuesday, at
2 o'clock, Rev. Hayes officiating.
