The New Road Law.

At the meeting of the levying court held at Fayetteville first of the week 1t was decided to give the new road law twelve months trial in Washington County. According to the provisions of this law 1t is the duty of the county judge to ap- point a commissioner who shall divide the county into road districts, not exceeding twelve districts. He shall also designate the most prominent roads running centrally through the county and dis trict as roads of the first class and other roads shall be known as roads of the second class. All the tirst-class roads are to be worked first and the second class as the county court may direct. An overoeer Is to be be appointed for each district, and each is to be furnished by the county with one team, one road scraper, one steel turning blow and such other tools as may be necessary.
 The adoption of thls law means an additional tax of 1 1 ? mills, but if it will serve to better our roads we believe there will be little objection on the part of the people As we understand it, this new law will go into effect just as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made, and of course the old road districts will be done away with.
