PooLERIrEs STIRRED UP.
They Want the County Commissioners
to Do something for Them.


A meeting of the citizens of Pooler will
be called one night next week to receive
the report of committees appointed to
wait on the county commissioners, ask
ing them to facilitate the drainage of
Pooler The citizens feel very sore over
the injustice done them by the commits
siCners in laying their petition over and
granting the use of twenty-five conVicts
to the road commissioners for the purpose
of putting the roads in good condition in
the neighborhood of Woodsville and West
Savannah. The burden of keeping the
three miles of road extending from the
eight-mile crossing to Bloomingdale falls
on the shoulders of the citizens of Pooler
and was reported to the grand jury,
which was examining the county roads
this year, to be the best kept outside of
Savannah and in splendid condition. Cor
sidering the inhabitants of Woodville are
equal in numbers to that of Pooler, our
citizens feel they have been Disseminated
against by the county commissioners
doing work which the road commissioners
should have had done by the inhabitants
of that section.
