THE NEW ROAD LAW.
TO the County Court OF Knox County.


Gentle reader, just imagine yourself or
the lead mule of a team offour, driving a
forty hundred load of lumber or other
heavy material, over an average specimen
of our Knox county roads. Conceive that
you are trying to steer your course down
the side of one of our ridges where
Ruts and crosspoles, rocks and mudholes
Are found in most disorderly distribution.
See yourself making a vigorous gee pull IN
order to shun rut, which is no sooner ac-
complished than you find your way OBJ
structed by rock or pole or root, or some
such thing. Then, after pulling and strain
ing every muscle and eXerting all the tact
that good driver is supposed to be pos
sessed of, you at last find yourself landed
at the foot of the hill with, perchance no
greater ill luck than taxed patience, THAT
TO be considered fortunate escape.) Sup
pose man to drive across our county,
twenty miles, where every turn brings the
wheels of his vehicle in contact with some
kind Of obstruction. Picture him sticking
in a mudhole, where he must prize an hour
or more for dear liberty, or to cap the eli
max, see his wagon, load and all tilted
topsy turvy down some ugly embankment
among the trees and rocks. At the end of
that mans ride what comment do you sup
pose he would make on our county, provi-
ded he be accustomed to profanity. This
picture, may, perhaps be over drawn a
shade or so, but that Knox county roads
are bad ones no man will deny. We have
not public road in the county, coming
up to the provisions of the law. II any
member OF the Honorable Court can find
one that does, the undersigned will treat
him to beer. Well, il our present
read law is insufficient to keep
our roads in lawful repair
doesn't 1t appear that it needs improving
in some way? / think it most assuredly
does. Provided that is the case, would it
not be wise for our court to accept the pro-
visions of the last session of the Legisla-
ture for a Public Road Law. That provis-
ion seems to be quite judcious and GER
tainly is an improvement on our present
lame system. Let us have the new law.
If we don't get it 1 suggest that every poor
man, honest man, and good man in the
county assemble at the court house at the
close of the October Court, and having
first provided themselves with rickety
old wagons with "a lively team in each and
give each:Esquire who opposed the law q
free ride to his home, driving at the rate
of sixty miles an hour. Roy.
