lars and fifty cents to reimburse
him on account of having to pay
out this sum extra for services of
bailiffs at this term.
We recommend that the county
authorities build, at once, an up-to
date public closet in Cleveland.
We recommend change to be
made on the public road at W.K.
Dean's intersecting at tiie farm of
George Anderson. Also another
place on White Creek near Ilogue
West’s place. Also west of the
creek leading to F. M. McMillan's

house in vety good repair. We
find the jail needs the following re¬
pairs : One sasli and some window
panes; the overhead ceiling in one
of the cells is off ; the sewer pipe
enters into a wooden box which
we find is rotten, and a tile sewer
should be placed therein; we find
the gutter leaks and needs to be re¬
paired ; also that the covering over
the well is rotten and a new one
should be built.
We recommend that all these re¬
pairs be made promptly,
We return our thanks to the
Judge and Solicitor for courtesies
extended us during our delibera¬
tions.
Respectfully submitted,

We love her, yes, we love her,
But Jesus loved her more.
And He has sweetly called her
To yonder’s shining shore.
There was room among the angels
For her poor and weary soul,
And Jesus, the gateful Shepherd,
Has called tier to His fold.
A Cousin,

AMERICAN FARMED PATRIOTIC
PROVIDES SUPPLIES AND MONEY
Few will question the patriotism of
the American farmer.
If there Is any man in whom the love
of home, the love of liberty, and the
love of independence is thoroughly
grounded, it is the American farmer.
Naturally, therefore, he is the one
man more than any other, who will
Stand firmly behind his Government
In making the world safe for Democ¬
racy.
The farmer is doing, and will con¬
tinue to do, all in his power in the
matter of the production of foods to
support our people at home, our boys
in the trenches and our allies.
But it is as necessary to finance lib¬
erty as it is to fight for it, or to feed
those who fight.
Because all of this is true and be¬
cause he can afford it on account of
the prices he is receiving for his prod¬
ucts, the farmer should be one of the
most eager purchasers of Liberty
Bonds.
He should be willing and glad to
share a part of his profits In support
of his government in the prosecution
Of tin* war.
