COL Taylor has had force of men at
work for several days, on the county road,

being almost as smooth and dry as stone
pavement, made so by the scraper with
which it was operated upon. People who
would visit Mound City to-day, in buggies
will find the county road splendid drive
all the way.-if it doesn't rain.
The oldest man within hundred
miles OF Cairo lives within about fifteen
miles from Cairo in this county, not in
Kentucky as stated by the Argus short
time ago He is in the employ of Sheriff
Hodges; his name is Uncle Joe, just Old
Uncle Joe, and he is over one hundred and

and prepares sumptuous meals for the
sheriff and his friends when they come for
few days.
