A POETS EPITAPH.

Stop Mortal! Here thy brother lies,
The Poet of the Poor.
His books were rivers, woods and SKIES
The meadow and the moor.
His teachers were the torn hearts
wall,
The tyrant and the slave,
The street, the factory, the jail,
The palace-and the grave!
The meanest thing, earth's feeblest
worm,
He feared to scorn or hate;
And honored in a peasants form
The equal of the great.
But if he loved the rich who make
The poor mans little more,
Ill could he praise the rich who make
From plundered labor's store,
A hand to do, a head to plan.
A heart to feel and dare
Tell mans worst foes, here lies the
Who drew them as they are.
-Ebenezer Elliott.

SPLENDID ROAD
COMMISSIONER
Mr.. ]. D. billiard One Of the Best in
State-Has More Than Filled
His Contract.

The action of the Board Of Super
ervisors in changing the system OF
working the public roads was for the
purpose of eliminating the expense OF
employing a road commissioner and
not as any reflection on the present
Commissioner Mr.. J. D. billiard. From
tn wording of the report in yester'
days Daily Commonwealth the latter
b idea could possibly have been gathered
by one reading it.
The Supervisors believe in Mr.. Dill
lard and are more than satisfied with
his services and all have the highest
words Of praise for him as a citizen
and a road builder. Their action as
stated above was for the purpose Of
economizing and was taken with the
full knowledge Of their action by Mr.
billiard.
