Dear Sentinel.Jourual:
| paid Pickers visit last week
and was very much impressed with
tho improvements I saw all along the
way, and especially so, from Liberty
to Pickens.
There is~one feature that | do adj
mire and that is the small purchase
of land, and tho improvement that
follows. The small land owner is
tue backbone Of the country. He, it
is, who tilIs, tends and tolls, aud
beantifies his little farm, and spends
what he makes in further improve
ments. Whnt We want is our large
areas cut up into small farms and
sold to good, energetic, white men,
aid tho necessary result will be good
citizens, good churches, good hools,
and last, but not lenst, but grea test
of all, will be Good Roads.
This community has been blessed
recently with good meetings and the
preaching has been with power, and
many have fallen in to march under
the banner of Life and Peace.
Crops in this section are only ord.
nary; cotton very short; corn on bot
tom land is fine.
The only thing we can comp lain OF
right now, is our roads. They are
not hardly passable, in places. had
talk with Honorable Board of Com
missioners and they promised to give
us their presence and attention next
month, AMI bring us the chain gang
to relieve us to some extent, so we
will wait with patience. their arrival.
think it would bo much better
and much to our interest just now,
to organize "Rond Club" and work
out our roads on the "Plnn of Labor
for any thinking man knows full well
that tho sum Of one dollar c,mmutu-
tiun money is not sufficient to meet
the needs of today = is not enough to
put the roads even in passuble condi.
ton, much LEGS build them up as they
should be, for we have more travel
than ever before, and new ronds arc
constantly having to be opened ut
to accommodate the increased popu
lation That is SO fast developing uE
our county.
We have n fine country and let us
develop it, by all means in our
power.
