Needed Improvements

The question Of improving the
road down the hill at Forest City
was brought before the county
commissioners this week and they
made the interesting discovery
that the county did not have title
to the roadway that was improved
there at an expense of about $500
a few years ago. The commits
sioners went over yesterday to
look the situation over Gettys-
burg News, 7th.
The above refers to the Beaver
gnlch road, thru the old
townsite to the present location
Of the town. This would make
one of the prettiest driyeways in
the country and be of great public
benefit if properly improved.

and uncharitable to denounce an
undesirable friendship your son or

still, substitute some pleasure.
