The next time one of our young gentle

The reason he has not been over he must
post" us so that we will not give him
away.
1t is said that "a severe case requires

A gun over the other.

Just after mailing our last letter to the
News we left home to visit the capital of |
Grayson county. We enjoyed our visit
10 Miss Lourena Willis very much; took
N the town, noticed the improvements,
attended the protracted services at the
Christian church, visited all the dry
goods and millinery stores, found all with
IN elegant stock OF goods and doing an
extra-good business, and returned home
with the intention of writing up the town
but now our head is too small to contain
only one idea at time and we can think |
Of nothing but the fearful roads. When
VIC hiS ihCilhSu w say hduBhty IliHSb
about person we put our tongue between
our teeth and sit on the opposite side OF |
the room from our pencil until the storm
passes over. But then the roads are pub
lie property and one might write about
them from now until fall and "the half |
would not be told" The road between
and Leitchfeld is not only
a disgrace to the two counties but to the |
Court. Such narrow, rough, poorly |
worked roads we never saw, You may
think us exagerating when we say that |
there are very few places that buggies |
can pass and at times it is tight squeeze
on horseback. Imagine a gentleman
having to back his buggy up in one fence |
corner, take his horses out and put them |
in another, until loaded wagon passes.
II you think the picture is overdrawn |
just take few trips over the road and |
you will decide that "Truth is stranger
than fiction"
