An Appeal from Rockingham

PendletOn.
Mr. EDITOR The Road thro' North
River Gap, is link that binds these four
counties in mutual interest. Every one
acquainted with it and the section thro'
which it passes, know this to be SO. Not
only since the war, but for several years be-
fore, it has been neglected. So remote
from where the persons who worked upon
it lived, the Court put them on other roads,
and for two years at least, made small APP
preparation to keep it in repair. 1t was
entirely inadequate. The road crosses
North River and Skidmore Run near a
dozen times each. The quantity of drift
that collects in each has thrown these streams
into the road. and washed it away. So OF
ten has this been the case, that little ground
now remains to effect the changes necessary.
1t something is not done soon, immense ex-
pense will have to be incurred to open the
road 1t is proposed that force from the
several counties named, assemble just before
seeding with provisions and tools, pre-
pared to cxpend weeks work. from
Shavers Shop at the mouth Of the Gap to
the county line on top Of Shenandoah coun-
ties. If A. j. Jones and VIM. Hiner, in
Highland. BENZ. Hiner and Geo. McQuaid,
in Pcndleton, Absalom Michael and Jas.
Karricoff, in Augusta, and Jacob Thomas
and Abram Click, in Rockingham, will stir
themselves in their several counties, they
can raise force of workmen, as well as OBJ
tain subscriptions in aid Of the enterprise.
BY concert among them, time can be fixed
upon, when to commence it. Jas. Todd
and others on the road will lend generous
aid, as they have heretofore done in keeping
the road open The towns Of Staunton and
Harrisonburg are equally interested in sub
scribing sum in aid, as are all the inter
mediate villages, as far as the McAdamized
road, and public spirited men in each are
urged to put their shoulders to the wheel.
The other papers in this county and the
Register and Commonwealth in Rocking
ham, are respectfully requested to copy and
urge their friends to aid in the work
