II suoh there be, 60 mark him we'll,
Tor him, no bank account shall swell,
no angel watch the golden stair to

man who never asks for trade by loca
line or al. displayed, cares more for
rest than worldly gain, and patronage
but gives him pain. Tread lightly,
friends, lot no rude sound disturb the
solitude proiound; here let him live

senate by Senator Stone, of Benson,
providing that the road taxes shall be
paid ia cash instead OF ia labor. Sen.

state and that under the present sys
TEN many who work their road tax are
not giving the state good services but
in many cases only killing time. The
new measure provides for the appoint
ment of road overseer by the town
supervisors, which board is further
given authority to hire parties to do
the road work needed from time to
