At the next meeting of the Board of Supervisors that portion of the poll tax which is returned from the state to the county will be disposed of. The time of this meeting (Dec. 10) will be the last chance of those interested in school work to secure this fund for school purposes. This opportunity is too precious to be neglected and the school board of each district should be on hand to plead for a favorable action.
