TO call the attention OF the proper hl-
thUrltles TO tbs con ition OF the roads
etding into Waco. Even inside the
corporation " Waco there are p aces,
that are almost unavoidable so bad that
ordinary loads, with good teams, can
hardly pass. The cry III this nrighbur'
hood il that 81 want haul my corn and
cotton to market. but q roads are too
badly out Of order or course we cant
keep he roads from getting muddy, but
bridges can be built and holes filed NJ
Mud, too, can be prevented by rIsng
the road bed aud cutting bitches on
both aides. The il too little interest
taken IN them, too, but often they TAI TO
see it. All men who are subject to al
duty ought to have pride enough to

laborers that do mt own single tool
that can be used ia road working, and
men that have such laboring men hired
do not letl 1t their dnty to furnish them
with proper tools. This il one reason
why 10 many old hoes that will not stay
on their haudle- are seen on the road.
This tool matter could be remeiied to u
great extent by being more careful about
spending money that ia col ected Hs

up at stores on the road, 1t should be
spent for good tools and p hced in the
