The Roads.

Editor Register; Please allow me
space in your paper to refer to a
portion of the county road that
leads from Hickory Chapel to the
Letart road at the four bridges
This road has been neglected for
years, and is now a wilderness OF
briars ard brush, and filed with
bitches washouts to the extent
that it Illnost wholly impossible.
Don't us farmers pay taxes to keep
up our roads2 We are a good, quiet
set of fellows, and hence we have
come to this state of affairs, and now
we have to kick, and will say right
here that we are going to keep ON
kicking until our road is cleared OF
this wilderness of briars and brush,
and the road is made so that we can
drive our wagons over it. The road
we speak of is within five miles OF
our county seat, and is in thiekly
settled farming community, and il
is certainly shame aud a disgrace
upon our county for it's people and
for strangers to have to travel over
such road, to say nothing of the
Inconvenience and heavy losses sus-
tanned by the farmers of our com
munity. Now let the proper au
thoritles take this hint of what is
coming. for we are positively not
going to put up with this any long
er. 1t must be attended to.

This talk ofthere being no cholera,

cities abroad-Paris, for Instance
is very foolish and trivial. Any
medical man knows that cholerine
precisely the same thing as cholera;
it is cholera in its first or incipient
stage. But it is just as infectious
and just as dangerous as cholera
under its true name.
