Pomaria, Jan. 27.-After a few days
of rain, We are again enjoying the
bright sunshine
The last few days have put the roads
in bad condition. The road leading out
from Pomaria through the Buncombe
section is almost impossible for bug
gies and wagons, and no one can guess
when an auto will be able to pass
over that section of road from Mr..
Caldell Ruff's to Mr.. Drayton Wicker's.
This is partly due to the fact that Mr..
Rates Boland has been, and is still,
hauling lumber from his saw mill 10
Pomaria with two wagons each day.
There is also a very bad place in the
swamp at Mud creek just beyond Beth
lehem church. Some amendments have
been made there by draining the
swamp. A great deal more could be
done with just little labor.
Mr.. Arthur Counts has been nurs-
ing a bad face for the past few days,
caused from boil on mis- right cheek,
but is still able to hold down No. 3. 1t
requires quite nerve for man to
nurse a boil and make his rounds Of
26 miles and deliver heavy mail and
answer his ladies' correspondents and
please his. customers over three bad
roads though "Box" has it.
