A car load OF shingles arrived at the depot
Saturday. They are for the hotel building
at this place. I don't like to ses new roof
put on the old building. That means no i'm

Roadoverseer Dixon has done some good
work on our streets lately, but on account
of the funds being exhausted, he was unable
to finish his work. We have thirty five poll.
tax payers within the limits of our town.
Now, this, without our property road-tax,
amounts to seventy dollars, but when our
oyerseer wants to expend about fifty dollars
on our streets, we hear the cry from out
siders that this money should not be expend-
ed on the streets In Arcadia. Now, If our
road-tax (poll and property combined)
amounts to about one hundred and twenty
five dollars, why can't we have portion Of
it to improve our roads? Oh ye! who are
bowling please listen to this. Will you have
all of our road money taken from US, or will
You only take part of it?
