I had thought about treat- j tbis article with silent contempt both 1 believe it was written by a person 311 srly ignorant of the duties de- * red upon a sapervisor. But as it ywr ht possibly lead others into a the >ng channel of thinking, I deem it prin< duty to make a brief reply aad en- ^ ten the writer a little. First, the comi ter asks, "What has become ot our Chui ty commissioner? Is be dead, or and he gone to Washington ;to sec ?1 rey?'' I bog to inform the writer ^ I am still alive, and am happy to in my usual rok*st health, and I did rot go te Washington to see ,,v much-talked-sbout Dewey.

Now I would to know if I am to be blamed for . he bad roadr in the county. Does the fault often rest upon tfee shoalof the orerseers whose duty it is >ok after the roads aHd keep them 'TV >erly'worked, The supervisor, aa * MnBBttanMB&aBBHiRBBN e^erv intelligent person knows, has other duties to perform than that of riding orer the county looking after the roads. His office duties require a considerable portion of his time, asj every one is aware, and it is utterly impossible for him to look after all the roads of the county and attend to his ffice work too, especially at this season of the year. Everybody knows that during the winter months, when there is so much rain and freezing weather, that the roads cannot be kept in good order, and possibly some of them do eet in very bad condition. But, as I hare already said, il is the 3uty of the overseers to look after the roads over which they have charge, wd if they find them impassable to ?ut them in order and not wait on the mpervisor to order them to have them worked. Now, Mr. Editor, I have written a ittle more than I intended at the outlet, aB I believed that it wonld require ml a few plain words to convince any Sir-minded person that I am not to bo >lam?d for the bad roads about Backick. I have always tried to do my luty as supervisor as conscientiously is Iconld, and I believe the public generally will bear me oat in thin .ssertion. B. G. Tenoait, County Supervisor.
