A GREAT BENEFIT.

X is passing strange indeed that 50
few people comparatively appear to
realize the value of or necessity for
good roads and convenient highways.
1t would fairly astound the masses of
the people of this city to know the
actual number Of bales of cotton and
amount Of other agricultural products
which Texarkana loses annually
through the lack of good roads. This
produce is of course carried to some
closer or more accessible point to be
marketed at a distinct loss in price,
because of the well nigh impossible
condition of several of our most i'm
portant public highways in both Mil
Ter and Bowie counties. Now if the
State fails to make any provision for
the betterment of her county roads,
through the medium of the Legisla-
ture at its present session, let the cit
izens of these two counties unite with
the business men and property hold
ers of Texarkana in determined ef-
fort to secure the inestimable privi-
lege of good roads from this city to
every desirable point in both counties.
The interest in SO doing is mutual and
the benefits to be derived therefrom
will be enjoyed by all alike.
