the government of the changing.
It was uncalled for and unjust.
They were mistaken as to the
management of and amount of
work done by the convi"ts. They
did not know what they were talk
ing about. | believe if the gentle
men did know the true state of
affairs they would not have made
the report.
There arc three classes of men
liable to road duty. The first are
good business men but too selfish.
They complain of bad roads, but
will not accept the position of over
seer. This shows they have no
public spirit and will not lend a
helping hand for the good of the
public. The RESULT is the supervisor
has to appoint just anyone he can
get forever seer, competent or not
The second class hands are men
who go or the road when warned,
but do very little work. They
growl and complain, the over-seer
can never work the road at a time
that suits them. They are stumbl-
ing blocks in the way of good
hands.
The third class are men who when
warned to work strike asasse line
for the doctors and for the p.tiful
sum of fifty cents many of the
doctors will give them certificate,
sick or not. This is wrong and
ought not to 70 done, no doctor
should encourage the road disease
but should endeavor to curse it.
this disease he could eradicate
with out medicine. Thanks to our
law -makers, they have a remedy
for this disease and I am glad a
certificate is no good unless man
is tried by a trial justice and
acquitted. I know man in this
county who was tried by a trial
Justice but his certificate did not
clear him. He was put on the chain
gang ten days and wished he had
never seen a certificate. 1t is j Sc
rious thing for man to go to a
trial justice with a certificate and
be found guilty and this sentence
be pronounced against him
Depart from me ye law-breaker tc
the chain-gang for ten days"
know neither you nor your certlti'
calte. The road disease must be
cured and the sooner the better
for it is a SIN and curse to the
country.
We are needing rain very badly
The farmers are blue over the
prospect for a good crop. We have
clods upon top of clods and it vii
take hard work to pulvcrize then
and farmers are behind with theil
