of the local option law; and also
the Salisbury papers had the
same mistake, for the same cause,
that is, getting initials mixed.
L. B. is guiltlesss of the charge

never been accused of letting
anything good go except to his
many friends as a set "em up.
He says he is like many others,
a buyer, not a seller. We gladly
make the correction.

men from the country and town,
eager to do what could be done

a permanent good road on the
highway between Brunswick and

The road just west of this city
is in a deplorable condition and
is 30 most of the time az to the
part of it Immediately west of
the Mussel Fork creek. At
times it is impossible, and that
it must be put in good repair is
a matter of much interest to the
city as well as those living west

doubt. We join with all others

put thru that which several of
our enterprising citizens have
