Editor Ofhte Beacon:
There IS no county Office of
more Importance than that of
supervisor, and with the excep-
ton of the office of chancery
clerk there is no office that affects
the welfare of the people more.
Within the past few years
taxes have been increased from
II to IA mills on the dollar with
out any improvement in existing
conditions in the county, and it
is the writer's opinion that we
should have supervisors who
should spend the county's money
just as they would their own,
spending only that which is nee
essary to defray the expenses of
the county and make such i'm
provements as are absolutely
necessary.
In looking over the timber in
district one there is no better
man than R. A. Bryan, and a
large number of voters would
like to see him announce for the
Office. A VOTER.
