OVER THE COUNTY.

| There are some sensible people on Cath
| ey's creek; they have taken our advice and
| are trying to make turnpikes out of their
old dirt roads. W. j. stray horn, overseer OF
| the road from Cathey's creek to the top OF
| the hill by the old Chapel place, induced
| the road workers last September to brin z
their wagons and haul gravel from the
creek and pike the road. About twenty
wagons hauled gravel for four days, and
this old road, formerly one of the worst in
the county, Is now as good pike as the
Hampshire. And this was all done with
out any cost to anybody, and with but little
more labor than would have been wasted
in patching up the mud-holes through the
winter. All the neighbOrhOOd felt an in
teTest in the matter, and helped. Every
other nelghDOrhOOd in the county should
jolIoW the example thus set by the people
OF Catheys creek. We especially call the
attention of the people of Bear creek, to
