gravel road is fortunate. By re
ferring to the minutes of the Board
meeting on Monday it will be seen
that the section to be built will be
on the Vanderpool road, near the
residence of VIM, Trimble, and no
where in the county is it needed
worse.
We believe that every bit of
modern road built is a guarantee
Of more. The people are hungry
