We have heard much complaint
of sudden turns in roads at various s
points in the county being obscured
by bushes and briars, obscuring the /
view of travellers in cars and other {
vehicles when making the turns. i
There are two places of that kind 4
near the home of 'Tump" Burrell, /
on the GAINESVILLE road, and some ac-
cidents and several near accidents I
have occurred there. This is con- Il
dition that could be greatly remedied /
on all roads by the cutting of bushes
and there is absolutely no excuse for {
The condition existing. II
The danger at the crossing of Il
the railroad on the Covington and ,
Stanton road, just north of the depot, :
will be greatly lessened by the cleo
trio crossing bell which is now being
installed there under the direction of ,
Foreman G. p McKeethen. Travellers !
will be notified then by the ringing :
Of bell and display of flags in the !
day, and the bell-ringing and red !
