are left in this river, that they grow to be
only two feet long at best, are slim-ji i'm
fish measuring about 2 inches through

munities in this item taken from the

ing, decided that the best plan to be fol-
lowed by the members of the organiza-

the county, was to cooperate with the
road supervisors in the various town
ships. 1t will purchase three split-log
road drags, one to be kept at Greenville,
one at Mercer and the other at Sharon, to
be used on roads in these vicinites to
demonstrate to the supervisors the value
of this simple device in road making.
