their departure for the Sunny South. These bird;

as they go, and a pilot bird usually precede:
them.

The public roads of the 9th district are a
great credit to those who have the of them
and we doubt if there is district in any county
in the State that can show as fine highways.
They are constructed upon the correct principle
high in the centre, gently sloping to the cutters
at the sides and without water brakes where they
can possibly be avoided. The road commission
ers of the district are Messrs. ohm W. Shanklin,
Joseph Jackins and Patrick Gallagher. Mr..
Nelson Cooper, of Towsontown, is a sub-super-
visor under Mr.. Shanklin. He is a practical road
man and all work done by him is frst-class and
does him great credit.
