I'm portant Road.

AT ttf,rt IS being made to have good
road from Woodstock to Wardensville in
Hardy county. The people of Hardy, we
are informed, will make good roBd to
the top of the mountain. To meet their
road, IN this county, will require new
road of less than three miles. Our peo-
pie are in favor of this road. All that is
necessary is to get up petition and
present it to the county court. The court
would, we are confident, not hesitate one
moment, about making the necessary aO-
preparation. We could not have a more
important road than this, The making
of this short connection gives Us the best
and shortest road to Wardensville,
Romney and Cumberland and connects
with good roads leading to Moorefeld and
other points.

beautifully decorated, last Sunday with
all kinds of vegetables and fruits usually
