The wheel riders of this place have
gone to considerable trouble to make a
bicycle path along Elm street, and they
earnestly request that teamsters will
kindly keep off the path with heavily
loaded wagons. The path is as far to the
side of the road as possible and it is no
more than fair that teamsters use a little
care.

Forest county paid into the State
treasury, as shown by the figures COM
piled for 1895, the sum of Sl.79l.93, and
received back from the state Sl6,O3O.42.
This does not seem to show that the peo-
Pile are overburdened with State taxes,
when they receive very nearly nine dol
