To tie Honorable Board of Supervisors:
GREETING:-I have examined the
roads in my district NO. y and I find
them in a good, passable condition
with few exceptions. find the Brook
haven and Wesson road on the west
side of the railroad in bad condition,
and too narrow from start to finish.
The road from the Smile post on the
Red Star road to the 5 mile post on
the Union Church road has not been
sufficiently worked, and is now in bad
condition. The Brookhaven & Mead
vile road is in good condition as is
also the Brookhaven and Natchez road
with few exceptions. The road from
Pat Harrington's place to the district
line is in good condition. The Brook
haven and China Grove road is in good
condition. find the Rockport road
is in bad condition. The Brookhaven
and Monticello road needs a little
patching. In fact, all the roads in my
district need some patching and 1
would suggest that the commissioner
have the contractors lay aside their
graders in my district and have the
roads patched, bitches opened and
sufficient outlet bitches made | think
this will be all the work necessary in
my district during the winter months.
Respectfully submitted,
w. f. PARSONS.
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI,
LINCOLN COUNTY:
Writ Adams, State revenue agent, for
the use of the State of Mississippi
and county of Lincoln VS.. Sherman &
Davis.
Now came the defendants, Sherman
& Davis, in the above styled matter
and except and object to the additional
assessments levied against them on
account of property which is claimed
to have escaped taxation by reason of
not being assessed during the years
from 1890 to 1899 inclusive, and for
objections and exceptions thereto,
they say:-The additional assessment
is unjust. Their property has not
escaped taxation. They do not own
the property assessessed to them.
They have, at all times, paid all taxes
due by them. None of their property
has ever escaped taxation and all
taxes due thereon have been paid
The said Sherman & Davis therefore
pray that the said additional assess
ment be disapproved, and that they
be discharged and released from said
assessment and all taxes claimed by
reason thereof.
SHERMAN & DAVIS.

and the books and tax receipts being
examined, and evidence being heard,
it is the opinion of the Board of Super
visors that said assessment should be

ment against Sherman & Davis for the

disapproved and is not allowed, and
