The trip was successful Jicnrly every prominent citizen of the district Imviiij been Been nml they wero picnscil to hnvo tho new offic ials cnll on them nml pet acquainted. Messrs. Tou Velio and Icevor cnllcl on Qcoivo W. Dunn nt his fnnn nud dismissed tho situation with him n well ns with mnny others and beforo rcturuinR homo pot in touch with hcvcrnl angles of tho road niluatian in that section. Ono fanner. Charles Homes, informed tho court that there was one hundred miles of road in tho district. Petition wero circulated calling for a rncctini of the tnxpay ors of tho, district for Saturday, December L'8. at 12 o'clock p. ui. at Neil crcok school houe, for the pur jhjso of settling tho question of levy ing n special tax for the district. All tho citir.cus of tho district wore in favor of BiRiiinj; tho cnll and there was n general sentiment in favor of lovyinj; tho tax though beveral were opiwscd to it subject to changing their mind after considering tho pro losition further. The only discordant note seemed to be tho attitude of K. I). Uripjs who was energetically certain that thn tux levy would be. turned down ghing as his reason the theory that tho most of tho residents in the dis tricts lived near Ashland and had good roads and owned valuable pro- lIHirlic and wero satisfied with the situation as it was and wero not concerned very much about tho peo ple who lived back in tho Dead In dian and Green Springs mountain and other less populous sections of the dixtrict. Asked if ho had any affirmative t-uggestions to offer Hriggx pniM)-cd dividing the district. Mr. Icovcr pointed out that the dis trict could not bo divided until Jan uary, while tho state law compiled the additional tax levies 'to bo mtule by the people in the dUtriets during the month of December, hence Mr. llriggh' proposal would merely delay Ihu district in gelling any benefit from any additional levy until the year 1014. One of the back wood district residents humorously de scribed Mr. IJriggs' pruxsul by com paring it to Ihu plan of the Arkansas Traveler in roofing hU beuse: "when it ruined he Couldn't do it, and when it didn't ruin he didn't need it." The new members of tho court tried to get Mr. ltriggs to rearrange his pro gram so ho could get the horse be fore the cart believing the roads could bo traveled better that way. They left the suggestion with Mr. llriggs thut tho issue of tho taxlevy took jilaco in December, and if the district would vote the levy tn money would be expended in the dis trict as it was formed at that time. Thou in January the citizens of the district could take up the matter by changing the district and that mut ter could be taken up with the people of tho district with a new of arriv ing at u jiiht and reasonable adjudi cation of thut pnijxiMtioii. in this way n start at better roads could be jnado at onco by co-oiopjting to gether in plcco of placing oWneh's in tho wny if progression. Messrs. Ton Velle und Lecvcr were well pleased with the general interest manifested by tho pcoplo of tho dis trict in their affairs am took an optimistic view thut tho December meeting would evnlvo n forward step satisfactory to nil concerned. s MIIHUR CQMHCE PEARS AR E NO MALARKEY LO ENGLAND 1LRUL E NS That Dun ,1'.
