We are not going to take issue witli Dr. John on this question because we want bonds for good roads. We can’t favor county commissioners, however, because we were once strung in the same place that Dr. John said he had been strung. If the people want them though, we are going to lay quiet this time. Let us have good roads un der any circumstance. Don’t forget the mass meeting at the Court House next Saturday. Judge Mason is anxious that a large attend ance be the result as he wants to have some one talk fur and against the bond issue An expression from the people is necessary at this time and we be lieve it will be iii favor of the bond if tiie people understand the question as it is. It is now Clerk of the Court Hagan, Collector Thompson, and will soon be County School Commissioner Brantly The latter has not made his bond yet but he is expecting it every day. He is taking some interest in the work, how ever, and he is going to lie a good man. The other officers are the same as they have been for the last few years. $25.00 Reward.
