Mr. Jobn J. Black, Tax Collector of Floyd County. If there is one office more than an other connected with the county offices that requires a man’s finest in genuity to fill satisfactorily, it is that of tax collector, and the fact that Mr. John J.

Rome and Floyd county is largely in debted to the painstaking and efficient city clerk for many improvements, espec ially in regard to its fine public roads for which he has labored so long and so i earnestly, being an honored member of 1 the National Road Congress. 1 Hon.
