Finally, tired Of thinking, picked

RAYvILLE. La, June 2?nd, 1873.
To Editor of Richland Beacon,
Dear Shallow me u ask through your
paper, of the Honorable Police Jury, if they
have abolished the Nicksburg and Nooro,
Road from Big Creek to Crew Lake, or is il an
oversight of theirs? as | see there is neither
hands or ovcrseers put on said road from Biz
Creek 10 Checks Ferry. nor from Checks
Ferry to Crew Lake; yet there are hands pu,
on said road through ward no. | and on
Wynn Island in ward no. 3. | also see tina,
the hands properly belonging to said road in
ward no. 3, many Of whom live Immediately
on said road. are put on another road. | would
be glad 10 know fthe road law authorizes them
to take the hands living on one public road,
to the detrment OF same, and place them on
any other road. being interested in keeping
up the Vicksburg and Monroe road, and
deeming it the most important road in the
parish to be worked, MS IL is the ouly main
emigrant travelling road in the parish, and my
hands in ward no. being taken from said
road, while it runs Immediately through my
place, and which have great use for, are
my reasons for making the inquiry-not that |
oppose The working of any other road, but
favor good roads.
Respectfully, w. T. OLIVER.
I'VE notice thai the Board also made the
mistake Of taking the hands from Mr. Coke's
place, live miles above Ielh on the Floyd
road, and placing them on the iii. Creek road
