We are informed that there is
bad break in the road near the farm
Of james L. Clendinen, on the lower
side of Kanawha, that should be rip.
raped. 1t would entail some cost
upon the county, but would be
cheaper in the long run; for if it is
not done, the road will have to be
changed, so as to run itover the hill,
making it fully u mile longer, and
very costly to construct.
