mat come, that child has not a fair
chance who has sprung out of the mud

MAKING GOOD ROADS
IN DEMUN TOWNSHIP

A tour over a good portion OF the
roads in Demun township last
Thursday, in company with Judge
Prngle, j. o. Sallee, John X. ki
ger aud w. o. Grissom, convinced
US that the the Judge aud the over
seer, Mr.. Grissom, are certainly
making some good roads. A very
great improvement has been made
during the last few months. The
road leading north to McIlroy's
terry Is IN fine condition for several
miles out and the good work is
still going on.
Then we travelled sDuth and east
over the new section line road To the
Armstrong farm on Black River.
This new road is three miles IN
length and is graded up in fine
shape. The grading Of this piece
Of road was done by Lee Mays,
with the new tractor, and the work
is ample proof that the tractor is
the machine to build roads with in
the bottom country.
Concrete culyerts are taking the
places Of the old log and plank
bridges and all the work in general
that Is being done on these roads is
substantial, the only thing necessary
to make them first class IN every
particular being a surface of some
kind TO hold them up during the
winter months.
