Don’t Want Some One Else Running His Business.

Oxford Gazette. There is no sense nor right in the present accounting boards system. For instance they have been here looking over the affairs and system of bookkeeping and accounts of tbe town officials.'XWhere and by what right were these fellows given permission to butt into the town affairs. There is no fund of the town’s handling in which the estate has one penny of interest. Yet at its own motion the state sends tts representatives to Oxford and piles up an expense of sl6 per day to look over the books. As far as we know no citizen or official of*the town has asked that this be done.' And again, We haven’t any idea what business the state has in the township trustee’s office. And for that matter wherein does the state get a hand in on the county books. The people are so easy on the matter of expense that no one in authority or otherwise has kicked good and strong against the usurpation.
