Orfing to the extremely

pointed a committee to cor

the construction of a road in

is good, unleBa our propects

S-hriff Hodges has n o t
yt settled with the State,
and there is no money with
whirt to pay the school
vouchers now coming in. Why
is it that on each leceipt giv
en by the sheriff for taxes the
State, school, county and oth
er taxes are made out in sep
arate items, yet the; school
teachers have to wait foi
their money until the entire
State tax is paid off? To be
sure mui'h of the money with
which th State i paid be-
longto our school fund. It
is evinentiy the intention of
the law that all taxes shall
be paid by Jan, 1, of the fol
lowing year, so that all may
be treated alike. Had you ev
er taken this into considera
tion? There is a wrong some
where that should be righted.
