One Gf the duties of the New Board
at the January Term, will be to go
through the farcical performance of
appointing Road Overseers, Who'll
in their turn be forced to pretend to
improve the public highways. We
don't mean to blame either the one
or the other, but are directing criti-
cism at the system in practice. Until
Green County adopts the Contract
System of working Public Roads,
she will continue to enjoy that unde-
sirable n%oteriety, which is now hers,
FOR bad roads, why not give the Con-
tract plan a trial, Our citizcnry are
heartily Disguised with the old way,
which is an admitted failure.
