Those Roads!

The roads are in a frightful con-
dition, all of them. Possibly the
Edneyville read is the worst. Just
beyond BLY, Bros. aud the Hender-
sonvil1e Wholesale Grocery Co.
there are great holes which render
travel dangerous to horse and man.
This is in the city limits. It is
said the roads generally have nev-
er been SO dreadful as now, and
complaints are bitter and general.
Many people believe it were bet
ter to have one mile Of macadam
than to have the chain gang here
and there throughout the county.
Those great holes should be re-
paired and so lessen to that ex-
tent the danger of trying to drive
to Hendersonville.

Sidewalks !! F!

The city authofities propose to
have the property owners on Main
street put.down cement sidewalks
Also ION Anderson avenue to the
Depot.
From the court house to Broad
street, the. cement would cover the
present width of the walk.
On the balance, the walk would
be of reasonable width, possibly
8 feet wide.
In Spartanhnrg, We believe che
cost of cement walk. Is 95 cents .
square yard.
The city may, probably will,
borrow the money to do the work.
The property owner will be Civ
en- from three to ten years in
which to pay for the Improvements.
b If they are given anything like
ten years, it certainly will work
no hardship on anyone.
/ HSndefsonville will be q, great
big city before ten years. And
Ethese sidewalks wilt make Main
Estreet property much more valu-
able.
Not only that, but it will be a
most excellent advertisement for
Hendersonville. And Henderson
vile needs advertising.
There are some objections being
made by property owners. Pcs

It's in the nature of a perma-
