Public Board Deliberations Highlight Road Work and Appointments
The Board of Supervisors met August 2 1909 with all members present at the courthouse. They ordered the release and reassignment of Roscoe Higginbottom to a road project, authorized J M Lar to contract a bridge over Big Yellow Creek, and appointed J L Holder as road overseer. Numerous expenses and staff appointments followed including court staff, jurors, and sheriff deputies. The board rejected two bridge bids on Bear River, created a stock law district, and planned new public roads with committees to survey and mark routes. Community notes mention a land exchange near Iuka, a Camp F M Boone UCV reunion, and local social updates.
