Roard overseers In the Berlin and
Martel section have the western
spirit, in that they are hustlers and
consequently these county -o,a~ 80
always in good shape. They are not
like the Grahamville roads to Ocala.
The roads over there are the worst
that we know about
We have for the past three years
ridden over there and can say that the
holes which were in them when we
first travelled them are still there. We
would very much like to know what
the county commissioners do in that
section. Over here they are working
for the Berlin and Martel roads and
they certainly are good ones

going in certain direction in a top
buggy for several Sundays in success
sion will be so kind as to let us know
when the happy event will be, we will
send to Oregon and get some garlands
of the Oregon grape to Irvine with the
Florida orange blossom and the lilies
of the valley. Anyhow we are now
saving up all the rice and old shoes
which we can lay our hands on and
We are also gathering together all the
tin pans, cow bells, pillow sweeps and
horns in the enighborhood in order to
fully carry out our plans to celebrate
that which we all think is sure to
come to pass in the near future.
