become convinced that we will
never have any lasting roads in
this county, until we make them
of rock. To do this the county
will have to buy a rock crusher.
The crusher will cost in the neigh

with the Judge, that it would be
money well expended. Our roads
now are simply disgraceful.
All hail to thee!
Thou all-empowered COW!
TT sidewalks are thine,
Our gardens are thy heritage,

The meek and innocent mule
All these are close coralled.
But thou! Freedom sweet is thine,
And thy splotch h is approved OF men
By ballots duly cast.
