Editor st. Tammanv Farmer:
Since the freeze, and the snow has
melted, and the woods has burnt over,
it is nearly impossible to travel the old
Military r0ad. 1t seems to US like the
overseers Of the roads in our country
are very careless of their duty. We
have . good road law, but it Is never
paid any attention to. 1t would not
take much work to put most Of our
roads In good order, and once put in
good order, it would take less work to
keep them 80, and would be . great
advantage to the travelling public.

overseers' fault altogether. Besides
