We are now approaching winter and
will soon be confronted by as bad
roads as can be found u the State For
several years this paper has done its
best to bring about more desirable con-
ditions, but up to date, little &C
complished that is really encourag-
ing. The people of this county say
they want good roads, they have said
this for many years and yet nothing
done. There was proposition to
borrow money and build the main
roads of the county, but it was
overwhelmingly voted down last Sep
TENDER. 1t was contended by those
who voted for the issue of bonds that
it was the best and the only way to
secure any appreciable milage of good
roads in any reasonable time. Up to
this date no opponent of the bond
proposition has ever shown way to
build our roads. If there is way it
ought to be discovered and the roads
built. We will soon be paying
heavy mud tax and the truth is, there
is no escape from it, unles we borrow
money and build. ..rs@ rs 6,
