And loud the voices rang

The people of that section are at last
it seems to be given long desired
good road. As we said in a former

and the building Of this road will fulfil

Much credit for the movement to
build this road is due to Senator Frere

His father has been to 81. Joseph
and has been doing all In his power to
locate the whereabouts OF his son
