HIGHWAY
BETWEEN BLUEFIELD AND Ora
HAM.

Our attention has been called to
the highway between Graham and
Bluefield and its present deplorable
condition. Cannot something be
done TO remedy this? For such a
thoroughfare as this to remain in
its present condition is outrageous,
and the authorities should endeavor
to do something toward improving
It's condition. BY all means let some
thing be done to make this much
Travelled road at least passable with
out the danger OF breakdown.
