The criticism by the Grand Jury In
its nnal presentment at the Fall
Term Of court. Of the work that has
been done on the public roads Of the
county has excited comment and
discussion In many quarters. There
are some who arc OF the opinion that
the criticism Of the Grand Jury was
timely and justified by facts and con-
ditions. but there are many others
who hold that the criticism was not
Justified and that the condemnation
Of the road work was too sweeping
and unqualified. In this connection
Il 10 pointed out that the Grand Jury
has not been consistent In it's opinion
In the matter OF road work, or that
it has completely reversed Its position
since II made its presentment at the
summer term Of court. At that time
the work done on the roads under
the direction Of the County Board and
Supervisor was a. heartily commend

lowing extract from the two present.
ments show that there has been quite

Jury since July:

days of this week remain and BUT
TWO MORE DAYS OF THE FINAL

Next week will be even more exciting
and interesting than this one has been
and hard work will be the order of the
day right through. Although II seems
that the interest now being shown
could not by any possibility be great.
er ii is certain to be, and the tireless
efforts of candidates will bring in
many a subscription before Q o'clock
on the night of the close. Excitement
Is rising to a high pitch, and Is grad
ually increasing and every little bit
of effort counts.
