no road work have gotten clear of road
tax for 1884. I'd. That all the road tax.
whether levied ON realty, personally or
poll is to be worked out OH the roads
near the property, and only that which
cannot be warned out bv the overseer of
highways, is supposed to be returned to
the county treasurer. Sd. That the best

they have nineteen road districts with
no overseers' bills to pay,work done close

On Monday Of last week there was a

Andrew Brown, John McLlrty and
others. after which a committe OH rules
was appointed. A debate will he had at
the next meeting. Subject, whether war
or inteinperance, has caused the most
misery and destruction.
Editor PIONEER ExREss:-"When docs
social become unsocial?" Permit a
word Of. explanation OH this point which
was touched upon in your last issue.
The social referred to was not got up to
pay off the debt OH the church seats, but
for the church building fund. But when
the social was over and before the COM
pany had dispersed the amount raised
was announced and promise made that
ifsome other party Of the congregation
would get up another social to help ply
off the debt OH the seats, that the pro-
ceeds Of this social would be given for
that purpose. But there has not been a
move towards getting up another, 80
that does away with the promise.
Further, our worthy pastor had to have
some means to live on through the
summer of 1884, and as the subscriptions
did not full due until the first of january
1885. something had to be done. So Mr..
David Best, Of Bay Centre. and myself
became good fer 800, falling due January
q, 1885, about Christmas. l called OIL
most all Of the $50 called) church mem
bess and told them that this money had
to be paid ON the 9th of January, and
they all promised to hand it in (that is
their subscription), but that was the end
oft. A few adllerents and strangers
pad punctualiy to the amount of SS27, and
l had to raise $50. The day came and
not church member came to the
rescue. So having the proceeds of said
social l applied it. $l6.25 ON that n te for
the pastors salary, furnishing the balance
myself. And moreover, l have never
been asked for the prnrees!s Of said social
by any one representing himself as col.
lector and do not know who the colecto,
is. think church members SHOULD puy
their subscriptions when due, and when
that is done, the social proceeds will BIZ
in the TREASURY and then, as far ms l am
concerned, they can apply it to wl,atevc,
they think best. And now l hope this
