CERESCO HAS GOOD ROADS
Intelligent Work Has Been Performed

Ceresco has the best roads in the
county. according to those who do a
great deal of driving about the differ
cnt townships. The dirt roads have
been properly graded and dragged,
showing intelligent application on the
Part OF the farmers. The sides have
been kept moved, and the roads are as
handsome to look upon as any city
street. If they were to be gravcled
now they would he perfect. as the

One trouble with the crawling that
has been done is that the proper grad

been done first, so as to afford drain
