held Saturday afternoon at 1:30

Ideas Differ.
Will Ruttz of Pleasant township
Jacob Lowenberg of Dahlonega town
ship, Fred Jones Of Polk township and
Thomas Murray, also of Pleasant
township, were among the principal
speakers OF the afternoon. No uniform
ideas as to the road question were ad.
vanced by any two of the speakers.
Mr.. Ruttz favored a permanent mac
adam roadway fitted with concrete
culverts and spoke strongly in favor
of such road. Mr. Lowenbere imme-
diately contradicted Mr.. Ruttz, main
tanning that because the community
was now we'll supplied with railroads
and that few farmers had to haul their
produce more than five miles, that In
reality the people could get along
with worse roads than they could 20
years ago.
Mr.. Lowenbers was strongly in ia
vor Of a law which would provide for
the farmers of each township to elect
from among them one man to have
charge of the road work and also Of
the expenditure of the funds. He also
spoke strongly for a law which would
allow each township to decide indi
vidually what it's tax for roads should
be, holding that the different condi-
tons existing in various localities
made such a law advisable It was on
Mr. Lowenberg's motion that the
committee was appointed to draw up
the resolutions and present them at
the next meeting, when further dis
cussion Of the question will be held.

 In recent conversation Mr. Ammons informed us that the census will be made from April 15 to May 15 and that applications for enumerators are now being filed. Census districts will be made up from political townships. As a general rule each voting precinct, will be made a district, though in sparsely settled communities two or three precincts may be combined Tn order to give the enumator a full months employment.
 As far as practicable enumerators will be selected from each district. Preference will be given old enumcrat-, ors. The appointments are supposed to be made rom non partison stand point, through this district is given to the supervision of Republican.
 Applicants for enumerators will be required to show evidence of business ability. The pay will average from $500 to S7.00 per day, owing to the density of the population and the ability of the enumerator to dispatch business. The job ought to be worth at least $75 for the 30 days employed.
 Applications for jobs should be ad- dressed to Hon. E. E, Ammons, Census Supervisor, Jasper, Ark.
