standing in regard 10 the state aid

would like TO make the following
explanation:
The regular road commissioner In
each town is required 10 inspect and
examine each rod of selected high.

Therefore whether any work is done
or not. there win be report each
month containing bill for the cost
OF inspection, II nothing more,
When commissioner returns his
report showing he has inspected the
roads. but has done no work, Il Is
assumed that he has found no work
necessary
When he returns no repor al all,
II shows neglect OF a duty which
the law imposes on him and assumes
he does not care 10 have his town
avail itself of the state maluten-
ance.
There should always be a report
for inspection and also for repairs.

gal limit II is assumed that their
commissioners do not care to have
their towns avail themselves OF this

ignorant of the law
II is assumed that every road

Mrs. Jacob SWitZel.

Sarah A. youngest daughter of
Cyrus and Nancy Quiet, was born in
Tennessee, Oct. IA, 1847, and de-
parted this life Jan. rs, 1912, aged
ga years, 3 months and II days.
In 1S49 she came with her parents
to Paris, Edgar county, ILL.,, where
they resided until 1857, when they
came to Jefferson county, Iowa,
where they lived until 1868, then
came to Decatur county, where she
has since resided.
She was married to Jacob Switzer
November 20, 1866. Five children
were born to them, Jessie Belle, AL
va Wade, Albert Roy, Helen and
Ralph.
Jessie Bell and Helen died in in
fancy, Ralph, aged 3k years, and

She was converted at the age OF
Ia years and joined the M. E. church

great interest and an active part in
the work of the Aid Society, and was
their efficient treasurer for number

her to give it up. During her last ILL
ness, which lasted many months she
was a great sufferer, but bore it all
with patience and submission to the
divine will.
