today and suggest how you thinE
what she needs can be best OBJ.
tanned?
2. What about business" as that
word is generally used, the price
of labor and what in your opinion
is the biggest factor in preventing
return to approximate pre-wal
pricesq

operation be brought about
among the citizenship Of the en-
tire County,
4. Give the Board OF Supervisors the
benefit of your opinion as to road
working and the expenditure OF
the money to be derived from the
$500, 600 bond sale.
B.. What about. taxes -andF assess
ments?-If these ere lower cd 1t

penditures will have to be great
~ curtailed.

prices for cotton this fall and have
you any suggestions to make as
to marketing cotton?

preston" with other similar per-

/. To have her country friends
know better than they know now that
she is interested in them.
2. One big element that keeps up
prices is labor and the desire Of some
big concerns to continue to make big
profits.
8. BY realizing more the doctrine
preached by the Rev. Mr.. Fineschs'b-
er, the brotherhood of man, this, and
cooperative organizations.
= A. In coming to town today. saw
q lot of road surveyors. ] thought
engineers had passed on our roads
several times. / think the money
should be spent to benefit the great
est number of people IN Grenada
County and not sinpay tourists and
open up no more roads.
s.. If taxes are not lowered, then
we are headed for the poor house.
Whenever taxes are higher than what
the banks will give us for money
then we are in a bad way. Got to
do without something. We cannot
buy all the things we need. Too
many folks On public pay rolls.
6. think ths farmers may expect
cotton to sell for less than 10 cents
this fall and that the farmers had
better raise meat and plenty OF corn
and potatoes. AS to marketing,
something ought to be done but what
/ don't know.
z. Spendthrifts are largely respOn-
sible for present conditions. Every
body racing to make and to spend.
Reminds me somewhat of Esau's sell
ing his birth right. Things were bad
after the Civil War but we had a
better spirit aynong@the people. Ev-
erybody was willing and working
then, too.
s. There are lots of people who
talk about increases IN values OF
property but the increases are large
~ fictitious. Too many seem to
think that we can get rich by talking
about what our property is worth we
were told that when assessments
were raised that taxes would be low
er but the reverse is true. Got to
have better men on guard in public
office and less men trying out
schemes to get money ont OF the
treasury.
Rev. J. r. Cunnin CHAM.
/. Bettde school faciities-as now |
in process of obtaining. Public Lii |
brary-but little reading OF good lit |
erature is noticeable.
2. The business situation seems
serious to me bat not extremely cri-
tical. We are coming to pre-war |
prices as fast as in previous wars. |
Some writer's think the retail mer-
chants are unwilling to accept their |
share of loss. /
3. / should like to suggest, once |
year, a banquet, at which an enter
tanning and profitable program
would be presented. Public ques-
tions discussed. If managed and ad-
vertised would help.
4. / would suggest permanent and
complete work as soon as possible. |
It SENS much money has been spent
in the last year, without permanent |
results in roadmaking.
8. do not favor lowering taxes,
Perhaps we need bettersupervision
of expenditures, to SEQ it well done.
z. Good article in Literary Digest
of January 29th. First Article.
s. should like to see Chamber
Of Commerce, or some similar organi-
