persons who have been over the eastern
part of Washington county-the Glade
Springs District especially aud they
tell us that under the management
there the roads wero first put on "A
good grade, and then finished ina man
ner which makes riding and hauling
over them an absolute pleasure ingtead
of a hardship and torture. In fact these
roads are said To be the best i'm South
western Virginia. Ovor these roads
two horses draw load which usedto re-
quire four. Taze we'll would do well
to follow the good example of her neigh
Dor, in this regard. These roads were
built by taxation. which is the only way
we can ever hope to secure good roads.
