The words above good roads, means
what we most desire, and not altogether
what we have had over many Of our
public roads for the past three winter
months.
With any system OF working dirt
roads, we may expect muddy roads
and sometimes unavoidable mud holes,
but with proper work and attention this
will be OF short duration, and in ten
days Of dry sunshine. after the rains
and freezes, we should see the roads free
from mud holes and in fairly good
condition for travel.
If all the contractors will get busy
the first good weather in March, we will
have but few mud holes in the public
roads Of the county by the first Of April.

there any better way to make permanent
improvements than by interesting the
citizens to help, and the county to make
a special appropriation for such purposes
