ONE thing we overlooked some
weeks ago was the order of the
county commissioners for road
signs to be placed at important
places along all roads in the
county so that a man could travel
in the right direction without
having to ask every man he saw
passing by. This is, 10 our mind,
a wise move and one that will be
appreciated by people that travel
over our country roads.
