manner in which the road may be
brought to Pulaski. He said that the
Company can be induced to put up with
$4,000 from Giles and Lawrence, in

most serious trOu ble-will be spent in
this and Lawrence County in the time
Of a money famine, and this before a

Bonds. J. c. Lester Esqr., volunteered
for himself and DIR. Keeling to ride

purpose. A paper guaranteeing the
sum required to complete the survey
was HumeFously signed, and the meet
ing adjourned.
