Overseers Notified.

All the road overseers of the
county have had legal notice
served on them to put their roads
in condition at once or show
cause why they have not been
worked, at the September term
of county court. Some of the
roads have been neglected on ac-
count of the proposed State Aid
improvement which was prom.

the bonds were voted. The peo-

about having to pay 45 cents road
tax and still have to work the
road like they used to have to do
when no road tax was collected
at all. Some of the hands have
declared they will either pay the
tax or work the road, but they

Wet Weather and Corn.

The continued wet weather has
caused a great deal of the corn in
the wet bottoms to fall to the
ground owing TO a watery stalk
and the soft condition of the
ground. While the high water
has not hurt much of the crop,
the effect of so much moisture
has been bad. Hillside corn is
maturing very fine crop, but
the fields have been badly
washed.
