II IS said Of truth that the dark
est hours are just before day. SO
il is with the good county of Meme
fee today. Due to the recent heavy
rains the public roads have become
exceedingly laborious to travel, but
on Friday one Of the road engineers
had arrived and was ready to hard
surface roads and as soon as this
is completed contracts win be let.
One engineer begins at Frenchburg
and will locate the road to the Nor
gan county line, while another begins
with the Montgomery county line
and will locate to Frenchburg. The
entire citizenship of Menefee coun-
ty rejoices over prospects Of the
speedy construction of hard sur
face road through their county and
will gladly donate the right of way
through their lands. The fact that
a good paying oil well has been
brought in in new territory is an
other source of encouragement. The
citizens are hopeful and are doing
their full part for the asking.
