Rocky Mount Argonaut: The
roads leading into Rocky Mount
are IN the most cases in a very
bad condition. We hear farmers
complaining very much about the
roads and threatening to carry
their product and trade to other
markets. The bridges are par

ing absolutely dangerous. We
trust that everything pertaining
to the roads will be put in good
shape within the town limits and
that our town authorities will
exert themselves to have over
seers OF roads leading to Rocky
Mount attend more strictly to
their business.
