A mass meet ing of citizens will probably be called here some time this week, in order to arouse more enthusiasm and for the pur- pose of discussing ways and means look ing to an early beginning of substantial road building. Your correspondent has been informed by one of the county com missioners that an election will be held some time within the next ninety days authorizing the county to issue bonds for an adequate amount to build the roads as soon as possible.
 Morgan county is a rich agricultural county and it is surprising that no sub stantial road reforms have been inaugur- ated sooner. Several thousand dollars nave been expended on the county roads within the last few years, with but very little benefit to the travelling public dur Ing the rainy seasons.
