The cecent naayy rains have put the
public roads in deporable condition. One
of the needs of this county is better worked
public roads. Good roads cannot be had
by an occasional working, but they must be
put in permanent, durable condition, even
if it cost money to do it A system of road
working that would accomplish this, would
be blessing and would increase the value
of lands. Better roads Is a necessity.
