Over a thousand dollars has now been
raised by the people of Accident and by
the last of the week will be swelled no
doubt to fifteen hundred. The people
all over this end of the county have be-
come enthusiastic over the road, and
we'll they may be, for it will benefit all
directly or indirectly. Good roads are
the making of any county, and we eX-
pect to see the day when the whole
county will have the best roads in the
State. We may live in the mountains
but we want to have Just as good things
as our city brethren and the only way
is to 90 after them. This new road
will not only benefit Friendsville and
and Accident, but the county seat as
well, for with good roads there will be
more travelling, and more travelling
means spending money, and money in
circulation means that all will get some
of it.
