Contractors Brazos & Sons finished
the piece of new state road south of
this village yesterday, and have begun
on their other contract west of Will
lington Hill. The road just finished
was begun Sept. Sd, thus making al
most exactly six weeks work.
Now that Brazos & Sons have finish
ed and left here with their men, it is
no more than fair to them to say that

and their help have conducted them

CARDS to Brazos & Sons.
