The roads are in the worst con-

year, under our miserable road laws,
left the roads in such a shape that
the work of other years have been
lost. Overseers are not to blame.
The little money allowed them barely
enables to patch up bridges and cul-
verts.
There has been several changes
in our neighborhood. VIM. Fecht
has moved to the Feger farm that he
bought recently near Mexico, and
John Fecht has moved to the farm
vacated by his brother. Mr.. Shlep-

hood to aplace a few miles west.

Black farm which he has rented,

possession of the Roby farm.
