The Board Of Supervisors did a
sommendable thing when they voted
to appropriate money ty pay the ex-
penses Of the Roads Convention to be

Not very many years ago, and even

The Good Roads Convention. to he
held here on May 7th, promises to
mark an era in the financial and do
nestle history of this county. There
is very healthy and commendable
enthusiasm manifested already on the
part Of the citizens of the community
and this enthusiasm and momentum,
should be crystalized into something
practical, and no doubt will be. There
is no one thing, public education ex-
cepted, that touches so vitality and
closely every citizen Of the county. as
this one Of good roads, and every
citizen who can possibly do so, should
