The causeway across Pocotaligo is
already in excellent condition, but
Maj. E. G. Horton, under whose su-
pervision the work is done, says be
proposes making it still better-the
best causeway in the county. Thou
sands of cart-loads of sand have been
hauled in, and the causeway raised in
some places more than three feet. We
doubt if any one could have done the
work better and cheaper.
