There will be two Prohibition speech

The Especial commissioners on the

decided last Monday that there was a
necessity for the drain as laid out by
the drain commissioner.
There were only few applicants at
the teachers examination here last
Saturday. There is good demand for
teachers in this vicinity. Only few
districts have teachers engaged for the
winter term of school.
The valuation of the county as equal
lied by the board of supervisors has
been raised $4,000. The town of Mus
sey alone has been raised $1,000. What
did our supervisor do to have this amt
reduced? At the Republican caucus
for town officers here last spring it was
remarked by prominent Republican
that "The office of supervisor was held
by one or two members Of certain
family for so many years that it was
supposed that no one else was capable
of discharging the duties of that office,
and if such was the case we (the Reps.)
had better educate some one that could
attend to that office or move away"
The educating process has been going
on for nearly one year. The taxpayers
are beginning to think that with this
years experience and that Of three
years ago, the town is paying too much
for educating supervisors, and that it
is much better to elect a supervisor who
has ability to defend the rights OF the
town he represents, and not allow the
members of the equalizing committee
to hoodwink him without making a
vigorous struggle for the rights of his
town. Thanks to the equalizing com
mittee, it is not SO bad but that il
might have been worse had they raised
the valuation $1,000, the taxes would
