We have never made it, h point to criticise the work of die county commissioners in'the matter of; working the public roads of the county, or any other official of the county, as for that; but as a spec ial request we give space to the 1 following letter from the lower! part of the county, reads as follow *! Route 7-28-8. Dear Editor: —Can you tell the' people of this section through the; Monitor w hat has. become of the i road tax collector ? They are aIL getting uneasy about him. He is acting very queer by some means. He is about BO days past due, and they are afraid to spend their money that they have saved to pay road tax with. The iieople are good tax payers down here. You need not say anything almut r*>ad working down here—we do not care whether the roads are worked or not. We have got used to jumping gullies and ditches and going through the woods. All we want is to pay our road tax. The children of Israel were forty years in the wilderness. How long shall we remain, gentlemen ? - Very respect full v, J. F. Mills. (lit? Monitor.
