Tupelo. Miss, has just been
furnished an object lesson as to
the value of good roads. One
year ago, before the good roads
were built, it took four mules to
pull one bale of cotton to the mar
ket through the buck-shot clay
farm of Charles Kirkprtrick,
whereas last week Mr. Kirkpatrick
with two of the same mules, on
the same wagon hauled IL bales
over the same road. This is a
concrete road which has just been
completed and gives Lee County
IL miles of concrete roads, the on
ly ones of its kind in the South.
The weight of the IL bales was
6,638 pounds. While Tishomingo
may not have concrete roads,
graveled roads are certainly not
out of our reach. Really to see
the good gravel on the hills along
the side of the roads causes the
stranger to think there is certainly
something wrong with us since
we do not put it to use. Let
get out of the rut and get move
on us.
