Some months AGO the Town Council with a
view no doubt, to protect the shade trees in
the square, caused heaps of earth to be put
around their trunks This caused some OF

be taken away

ment in another column.
In going to Mr.. Drakes, on Saturday last
we had occasion to notice the condition OF the
roads, which had been worked not more than
a week ago, and found them in very bad con-
dition. The fact of the business is, the parties
who did the work must evidently have been in
Il hurry, for here and there were only thrown
few shovels full Of dirt, which the next rain
will surely wash away. In our opinion, it would
not be amss for one Of the County Commission
crs to ride over these roads, see their condition,
aud have them rc-workcd.
