has it that the county commissioners
will be asked to lay out a new public
road from Pisgah church to Loray
Mills. Beginning at the church, thence
to L. T. Morrow's, thence to the old
York and Lincoln road, via S. A. Lew
ISIS. thence to jeremiah Quinn's via
Mrs. Malissa Carson's, then to Loray,
by the Rev. F. w. Bradley's homestead.
The reason for this is to avoid the two
steep hills at the creek, viz. at the
church, and at A. M. Whitesides gin
house, and the impossible creek bot
toms in wet weather.
