real pleasure to either drive or
motor over it. Sunday morning
Messrs. Huston Orme. Will Cliff
ton, Sam Gugenheim, and Ed
ward Rommel visited Druggist
Norbourne Farris at Salem for
an hour or so. going over in
Orme's car. They assure the
Press that this road to the point
named above is in far better
shape than at any time within
their recollection.
A little work is yet to be done
on the "Croson Hill" near the
county line and then the road will
indeed be ideal. One of the
party remarked. We have the
best road engineer in the state"
He has improved this road and
in fact all the main roads have
seen, so per cent. Too much
praise can not be given Mr., Will
son. He deserves encourage.
