yCNO the Stock holders Of the Plank Road Com
pany of Augusta county, who feel deep in
terest in the plank road land timber is scarce and
rock plenty, make this proposition to the stock
holders of the road that will M'Adamize the road
with stone, from Granville to Slaunton, for 500
less per mile than the planking will land make
the road the same bredth of The panking and nine
inches deep and brake the stone so as 10 go through
a two-inch ring and think if the citizens will
look TO their own interests they will adopt the stone
as it is very evident that it will last longer than
the plank, if it were only the same thickness and
if is three times as thick it is evident that it will
last three times as long. Suppose it only lasts
twice as long, then you have road for l6 years in
place Of one for s years; and furthermore, when
your plank gives out, you will have new mills to
buy to repank The road, and timber 70 buy at high
prices and think the stone can be had on better
terms, and will be more convenient 10 repair the
road There are II miles from Greenville 10 Siam
