 DUSTY ROADS.
 Il Several Of the business men in the I center have expressed the thought
 that the roads should be oiled soon 4 especially the center of the town The

 cling over the roads and the dust flies 'l about especially on the new pavement where there is always much dust ly-
 ing on the dry surface. The sooner
 the oiling is done, the less complain l ing about the roads
