ARE YOU INTERESTED IN GOOD
ROADS?

lIttle dlScuSSlOn III the Columns
Of the News about the pai,lie
roads of our county and WAa;
has been done with the Rad
money. also we notice that our
Supt.. Mr.. Tom Morgan has ben
censored for the way and man.
ner in which the money has been
used. We wish TO tell the read
ers Of the News a few things
we have observed.
1. We have been acquainted
with Tom for years and we con-
fident him enough to believe he
will use our money to the best
advantage and to the interest of
the people. ~
2, We feel that he has care
fully used what has been spent
on our sections. by making it go
as far as possible and by making
the best roads possible with a
limited amount Of money.
Mr.. Morgan. can do practical
nothing to all our roads with the
amount of road funds that he
can assume control Of. when dis
tributed over all our roads,. but if
the citizens will take an interest
such as have been taken by a
number of Our people we know
some good can be effected, in
stead of wind work" it takes
cash and actuel labor to build
roads. a citizen can accomplish
but little in road Guiding with
his Sunday clothes on by trying
10 work up an interest in road
building when every body know
that he will still wear them and
hold his pocket book down in
sthe bottom of his pocket. But
let him put on his work clothes,
haul out bis pocket book and say.
come on boys and let us help to
build these roads. then seme-
thing can and viii be accomplish
ed.
We notice a few weeks ago
that Mr.. Morgan got a little
bump for giving q days of his
own time on a little bridge across
Briar Creek. If the writer
should see this bridge, compre-
bend the advantage it will be to
the people that have to cross
this stream and also 10 know
that such a good big, substantial
bridge was constructed at such
small expence to the county, he
would probably be a little mere
reasonable. There are also
other cases where Morgon has
helped considerably on our rords
by helping to lay out roads, where
they can be maintaied at a small
Ter cost.
Many of our roads Is you all
know are SO situated and con-
structed that they can hardly be |
called roads because they cannot
in their pre-. emit State be drained
to any extent, but in this respect
we notice d number of changes
aie being made Cat small cost
to the county, whereby better
grades, and drainage is had to
say nothing of the advantages of
getting them out of the beds of
rough streams.
We do not know what Mr.. |
Morgan has done for other Sec
tons but we have noticed that
where the citizens were interest
ed Tom was also. Some of the
citizens aregeting their eyes open
for good ronds and with little ex-
pence to the county, good roads
are being built from Briar Greek
down the river to Rhea Hollow.
Mind you, these changes spok-
en- of are not being moved and
built by Tom ard county road
funds altogether for there would
be but little county fuds left if
they were.
Put a little tax money with
open purses and good honest
work from good interested citiz-
ems are what wins the day.
Get interested your self. and
others with you. Do your part
in finance and work, cali Tom
Two Citizens.
