M. Suddreth chairman and began as best we could to get things under way for better roads in the county. By mutai agreement we decided l>> know n?> one political or otherwise. Our first work was to appoint Supervisors for Townships. We are sure that we could not have selected a more efficient, honest set of men in the county. It is our pleasure to express, in a public way, our appreciation for the loyal and hearty support they gave us in this work. Some of them have drawn as low as ten dollars for their services for two years. Begging, persuading, doing all in their power to heip work along, yet so?m people have heaped mountains of abuse upon them. This within it self is sufficient evidence that they were doing something. N*<? doubt there were times when they made mistake? who does not.' None of u.v are perfect. IV) the ciLi/./.eus <?f the county.
