Good Roads Movement.

Interest in good roads has been
growing some in Mississippi of late,
and the boards of supervisors Of
more than one county have adopted
special orders directed to their con-
tractors or overseers. In Jefferson
and Tate counties the boards of SUI
pervisors INDUCED in some very
plain talk, telling the contractors
that if they do not put their roads
in good condition at once, they will
hear something still more unpleas-
ant. In Yazoo county. the good
roads question has come to the front
so very positively that the board of
supervisors have ordered an election
held on September 8 to decide
whether OF not the county shall
abandon the old slip-shod method
for the contract system. The SUI
pervisors Of Simpson county having
had their attention directed to the
terrible condition of the roads in
that county, have ordered the over
seers to get to work at once, or suf-
fer the consequences when circuit
court shall have convened.
