| Mr.. j. D. ellis is to be praised
for his substantial work on the road
leading from Parkton to the Johnson
Bros. farm. The road has always
been in very bad condition this
season Of the year, but he has, or
soon will have, a splendid road all
the way of mile or more. It takes
work to build a road and when Mr.
ellis undertakes a job he believes
] in completing it some time. He will
in a little while live within three
minutes Of town, as he can board his
car ard make it to town easily in
three minutes. If our road men
/ would take pattern we would have
better township roads.
