The Road Queston Again TO the

RocKBRIDeE BATHS, March 3d.
We were pleased with the practical
suggestions Of "Ne Plus Ultra"
in last week GAZETTE in regard
to the public roads. We have Of
ten seen just such cases of en-
croachment on the public highway
BY the building Of fences as he
calls attention to, and not leaving
room for side drains or the passing
of vehicles and of course leaving
no room to get material to fill the
drains in the middle OF the road,
without which it is impossi BILE to
do any effective work on q mud
road.
In an article written several
years ago, We advocated the plan
of filling mudho es with stone and
spending less money putting dirt
in places that rarely get bad, niRety
per cent of which washes away by
the first hard rain that conner.
South River district 10 now trying
the expe, iment of filling the worst
mudhOles with stone and any one
acquainted with their roads will
notice a decided Improvement In
them, which will be more and more
noticeable as time rolls on. Can
we not do something in the some
liner Even If the road levy has
to be slightly increased, fer whose
benefit is itp Our own. Then |
why not do something for our own |
benefit and get out OF the old rutS
in which our forefatherS have
Travelled for generationsi
The short piece of road at Rock
bridge Baths is not the only road
in the county that people are COM
planning Of, as some people might
as we hear that certain
piece of road leading from Alone
Mills to Timber Ridge is in such
bad condition that people can
hardly travel it.
l would suggest X. Y. 2. put an
lrmful Of corn stalks in the mud

which may anewer until more
