OUT FOR SURVEYOR

of a corps of engineers of the United
States army. In this work he ac-
quired very valuable Knowledge in
the science of road building, a vital
qualification of a county surveyor of
Harrison county as the roads come
under the direct supervision Of the
county surveyor. MT. Osborn knows
how to build good roads and when
he builds roads they are good ones,
as evidenced by the fact that in
1910 he built the best piece Of paved
in the county. 1t is on the
Milford pike from the Burnside
store to the stealey residence at
Staealey Heights. Experts pro-
nounce it the best section Of road
in the county.
There is no need to refer to Mr..
osborn's politics as he is a member
of a Republican family was born
and reared a Republican, has always
been a Republican and is a Repub-
lican now. He is a firm believer in
the principles of the Grand Old
Party and he rejoices to see 1t win.
