Gravel the Roads.

The Road Supervisors have now been
engaged working upon the rublic hish-
ways Of the county about four months,
and have doubtless thrown up enough
road beds, which to properly gravel
will take from aow until The first of Nov
ember. Is it not wise to cease such
work and begin graveling. A few miles
of road well prepared is practica! work
done, and this it added to y,ar by year the
r,ads of the eutre county will soon be
repaired and made permanently good -
The County Commissioners therefore,
who have direct control Of the corps should
see to it. and put them doing THU special
work. II the road beds thrown up now
are covered with about four inches Of
