The Chain Gang.

The chaingapg is now making sub
stantial improvements on the Wyse
ferry road, claying and sanding the
road bed wherever necessary, and at
places they are putting in rock. like
that on Eighteen Mile Hill, which
was done under the supervision of
Mr.. Langford. some years ago, and
ie, perhaps, the best piece of work
ever done in the county. After COM
pleting work on this section, which
will take about two weeks, the gang
will then follow down the river road
to Brookland and thence on the State
road. There is nothing worth more
to the county than good roade, and
we trust the work will be looked after
on every road now before the busy
season serts in for farm work.
