FAIR RIVER DOTS.
BY CARROLL.

Farmers are busily engaged in pull
ing fodder. The fleecy staple, though
the crop will be small, is opening rap
idly.
Several Fair Riverites attended pro-
tracted meeting at Union Hall Sunday.
Protracted meeting will begin at Fair
River Saturday. Ed. Up. Harrington
will assist pastor Douglass.
Quite number turned out last week
and cleaned off the grave yard and this
week the church house was fitted up
with blinds and the roads were worked
leading to the church.
w. c. Dickerson and w. d. Sutton
are making improvements on their
dwellings.
Several parties have been arraigned
before W. ID. Sutton, j. p, recently,
charged with stealing water melons.
Boys-and some who are not boys
those of us whom are best acquainted
with you do, not think you meant to
steal the melons; but at the same time
to take that which does not belong to
you without permission of the owner
in the eyes of the moral and civil law
is stealing, and if the parties to whom
the melons belong are disposed to do
SO can proceed against you; and while
we don't set ourself up as criterion,
we advise all who expect to eat melons
to follow our example, i. O., raise your
own melons and thereby save your
selves the vexation of mind and spirit,
as the case may be.

Mr.. ISryant's Position,

THE LEADER has been requested by
Supervisor j. G. Bryant to define his
position in reference to working the
public roads by contract. He favors
working the roads by contract, he says,
and so voted when the question first
came up, but is opposed to letting out
some by contract unless all are let out.
Hence, at the July meeting, he voted
against letting out the two first-class
roads then awarded to Williamson and
Smith. At the same time he is opposed
to levying tax of more than one mill
in order to have all the roads worked.
At the August meeting he voted in
favor of rejecting all bids on file and
levying a road tax of one-quarter of a
mill, because he believed a one-mill
levy was not sufficient to work all the
roads, and at the same time recognize
ed the necessity and obligation on the
part of the county to create road
fund to pay the contractors for the two
roads previously let out in spite of his
vote to the contrary. He afterward,
during the August meeting, voted
against the motion to rescind the or
der rejecting all bids and making the
quarter of mill levy, for the reason
already stated. Did not vote at all on
the orders afterward adopted levying
a one-mill road tax and letting out the
remainder of the first-class roads to
Williamson, Hilton & Co., but acqui-
esced in the will of the majority.
Conceding to Mr.. Bryant the utmost
honesty of purpose, we can but re-
mark how absolutely impractical his
position is. To be in favor of working
the roads by contract; to be willing to
work none, unless all can be worked at
once; and then to be unwilling to levy
tax sufficient to work all, amounts
logically and practically to being OPP
posed to working any at all. THE
LEADER believes the majority of the
board has done the wise thing by levy
ing one-mill tax, letting out the Is
principal roads of the county and max
ing start in the direction of pro-
gress, and time will vindicate their &C
ton. Next week we will present some
facts onthis subject which the people
ought to know.
