son
Mr.. Editor, am glad you made mel
ton of tae bad mud hole in the public
road near Prosperity. This mud hole
needs a good ditch on either side with
piping to drain water from the road
This mud hole has been in bad con-
dition for soE4a time and | have often
thought how foolish to see people pull
ing their stock with loaded wagons of
fertilizers when one hours work
uould fiji the mud hole. l passed the
mud .1ole On Monday and found Mr.
Enos Counts there with his shovel
filing the mud hole and l congratu-
late him on his good work We hope
Mr.. Chappell will fix this piece Of road
soon. The writer has at different
times filled mud holes en- tae road
further down the road making travel
much easier for all. We hope the
roads will get in better condition soon.
Prosperity has used the drag on their
road and see how nice it looks and
easy it rides. If the drag was used
on the. roads it would be pleasure
10 drive over them and haul fertilizers.
Drag the roads if possible.
