We hope that the County Court,
at this meeting, will make liberal
appropriations to the roads and
place the money in the hands Of
men who know how to judiciously
expead it. The money recently
placed in the hands of Capt. John
ThOrnburg, by the Court, to repair
the road along the Kanawha, on
the south.si1e, shows what a little
money will do for the roads, in the
hands Of the proper man.
