/ BEST ROADS EVER.
dFairfield Ledger.l

NP ctilltClu ACllSSI.J
1t is a common expression with peo-
pie who have occasion to travel over
Jefferson county that "Our roads were
never SO good" During the past sea-
son many strangers who had driven
over our highways with horses or au-
tomobiles declared to The Ledger that
no place had they found better dirt
roads Not only are Jefferson county
roads better than they are generally at
this season, but they have been better
the year thru than ever before.
More than that, lit is probable that they
have been put into this condition with
less expenditure Of money than ever
before.
Our people are beginning to see the
results Of work with the drag, crude
machine, 1t may be. but one which does
its work most effectively. The best
stretches Of road in the county today
were not made with grader or other
costly machine, but with a device
formed from some old lumber, with a
few bolts or pins, the labor on which
can be done by any schoolboy The
drag is cheap, but it does high priced
work. It is a safe thing in anybody's
hands, for it cannot hurt a bit of road.
Those best stretches of road referred
to were not made in a day, however
They are the results Of continued
dragging. When the time comes that
all our highways can be dragged after
each rain they will be we'll rounded,
free from ruts, will shed water like
ducks back. and we will have almost
perfect dirt roads.
