Let The Good Work Expand.

~ The split-log drag method of
working and making the roads is
gaming rapidly in this county. and
If it continues to grow as it has in
the past six months and it will do
that it will not be a year before the
principal roads of the county will
be repaired, improved and built
with the humble but efficient drag.
The county has had about fifty drsgs
made, and they have been placed
with farmers and others who have
pledged themselves to drag the roads
without cost to the county, and to
the benefit of everyone. In addition
to this, many progressive farmers
have made drags and are voluntarily
using them. Muhlenberg roads in
the future will be delight and a
pride, and the quicker the better.
The record., 1913-11-20

Mr.. Otto A. Rothert, of Louis
vile, who has been spending some
weeks in the county, returned to his
home the first of the week. Mr..
Rothert was the recipient of many
favorable criticisms of his book "A
History of Muhlenberg County,"
and from all sections has been get
ting the most encouraging reports
of sales by his agents throughout the
county. This is of course very
gratifying to the author, and he
appreciates it even more than the
many sales that have been made
outside the county, though these
favors have been numerous and
widely scattered, all parts of this
country being represented, and a
few copies have been ordered from
abroad.
