FAIRFIELDS' GOOD ROADS

EDITOR CITIZEN:-I saw in your
paper scheme by which the Norfolk
people are trying to improve on what
they call "good roads" system in
Virginia. Of course "good roads"
means good roads all the year round.
If | am any judge of good roads
Fairfields district roads surpass them
all in the four counties of the
Northern Neck. have driven over
nearly all of our ccunty roads this
fall, and, in Fairfields only, the most
of them are fit for a race track. 1t
would be we'll for Virginia to make
no mistake in this great movement.
so | suggest to those interested that
they investigate the plan of keeping
roads in order in Fairfielas. They
are not only smooth but well drained.
Sir, if you want pleasant drive,
with one or two, or even three teams
abreast, come down in. Fairfields
when roads are in trim such as they
were this fall. Il. III. GILL.
