More About Roads


Knowing my allegations as to derel-
iction aud inefiiciency of the road work
and the whole Baby Tractor" system
to be the gospel truth the road COM
missioners have wrung in 3 couple Of
suple..Jacks substitutes to make reply.
And both of these communications althO:
signed by different parties have some
of the ear marks of having been writ
ten by the same person. And while l
may be mistaken in this assumption |
am sure that neither voices the senti-
ments of the locality they hail from as
to the efficiency of the present Tractor
system and condition of the roads To
defend ones self is the law of Nature,
to show gratitude for favors in the past
and lend helping hand to a comrade
in distress 10 to be comm ended. And
while the perpetuity of tue salary of
the Tractor man depends upon the con-
tinuation Of this system, We think he is
not competent Juror, owing to his
interest in the case. Two days before
your piece was pubised your tractor
went to the hospital and is there now.
Now as to Prof. DonnelI-he is also
interested, having held place so long by
the grace and inhue ace of Esq Whker-
son, that he feels it incumbent upon
himself even in his old age to dance to
the music when the string is pulled,
he to- 10 an Incompetent juror. But
what does the Prof. know or care about
special road system so long az the old
bob-tailed Nurse ls alive and the two
wheeled cart don't break down. His
gait up hill and down hill is just the
same whether there is any road at all
or not. The Prof. is good man but
he too has on blind bride when any
of his friends is subjected to criticism.
Remember blind 1om of Shelby Coun-
ty was good man too.
10 my last letter | furnished several
instances wherein there was grave in
efficiency and dereliction of duty on the
part of somebody. To furnish more
and additional proof in detail, would
consume the entire back side Of Your
valuable paper and would have to be
paid for'as All adv. Just like the won
dertul statement of the chairman two
weeks ago, and not having any of
the county funds at my disposal TO be
used in that way | must learn the
verdict to The people of tayetIe coun-
ty who are now watching your WORK
from every nOuse- top and fence corner.
Let me plead with you TO continue no

doned by SHELBY and Upton county

and scrapers aud graders therefor. All
