QUESTION OF GOOD ROADS
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE
People Of Brazos County Urged to Co
operate With State Movement
November and 6.

The most important move that has
been on foot in Brazos County in its
history is the road working movement
as suggested by the Commissioners
Court. Not that | think that there
will be so much real work done
during the two days named, but be-
cause it will create an interest in the
good roads question, which interest |
think will lead to the creation of pub
lie sentiment in favor of good roads
throughout the county. A man doef
not have to be thinking man to sec

road question is the biggest question
in civilization today, especially in the
newly settled portions of the South,

then have them drained and graded,
with the use of drags, the road prob
lem would be solved in our county.
They are never properly graded un-
til they are properly drained. Then
put sufficient number OF drags on
to drag the whole county after each
rain, and drag them while they are
pretty wet and it will not be long
until our roads would not get wet at
all without a very long continued
rainy spell. Let everybody be alive to
