The business men of Hurley have put
/ their shoulders to the wheel and pro-
pose to make the road leading from
Hurley to ChiIdstown and vicinity one
| of the best in Turner county, There
i is nothing which aids more in building
up Il town than having good roads,
over which the farmer can haul the
products of his farm to market. In
past years the trayel through this
county was north and south, and the
roads running east and west were neg
lected; but the building of the north
western railway and the establishment
of towns along the line, renders it neces-
sary that the highways leading thereto
: should be put in good condition for the
immense amount of traffic which they
will accommodate. With the com
pletion of the road leading west from
Hurley, the town will receive Il large
trade from a section of country which
has heretofore found II market else
where owing to this state OF affairs.

on Sunday, simply because he didn
know it was Sunday, and he paid $
for a lot of forged notes that had bee
advertised two weeks and the publ
cautioned not to negotiate for then

foot like forge hammer, to kick lii
all the way to the newspaper otlic
