his unfortunate comrade imprisoned

After few moments Of mute despair
and narrowing uncertainty a speech
less decision was arrived at, and the
newcomer proceeded with chisel and

The good roads movement so intelligently used and fostered by Governor Brothers and the democratic party, has already done more to instii new life and enterprise and a new spirit into the counties of this state than all other movements of recent years combined The passing of the old tollgate is symbolical of the new order and the larger spirit of enterprise and progress,
