COMMENDS BOARD FOR
ORDERING new ROAD


Editor Reveille:
Having sincere interestin the growth
and development of our county. l was
greatly pleased with the recent action Of
our Board in deciding 10 open direct
straight road from the Bayou Pierre bridge
10 the river. This opens up fertile scope
of land and reduces mileage one-half to
Port Gibson. The Waterloo. Disharoon
and several other fertile and large plania-
tions are now readily accessible and can
offer encouragement TO farmers who may
want small farms.
What a county needs is increase Of pop
ulation. 1T is people that constitutes
the wealth Of a section, not natural re-
sources so any measure that offers en-
couragement 10 bring 10 Us more people
benefits the county.
l say well done. Mr. Board; straighten
and shorten all roads.
