 II should be the ambition of each road overseer in the county 10 try and excel all other overseers in the way of improving the public roads. No slip-shod work should be a1- lowed, but every improvement made should be substantial and lasting. With the new road ma chimes, there is no reason why good work cannot be done, and in I few months all the main thoroughfares of the county put in such shape that vehicles and horses can pass over them with ease and safety. Most of the overseers SC. leeted are practical men and we reasonably expect good roads to result from their efforts.
