MANY miles to market provided he can
get first class roads and he will pass
by the nearer point II the road Is bad

highway IS In shape. Some definite
action toward improving the roads
leading into this city should be adopt
ed.

nummber of twisted steel guy wires
running down to 1t from large pole
standing at the corner OF the alley
between Main ard Blondeau. These
guy wires, II they became charged
with an uninsulated wire on the larg-
er poles would contain current enough
to injure or eIectrocute. They should
be removed as the pole is no longer
needed.
