Sharon Streets. l.,t.k:
A prominent citizen OF Sharon*wAs.
talking about the roads and streets in
this community the other day. Slid
he: 1--WE talk about the bad condition
of the road from Sharon to Lockhart
and occasionally that from Sharon to
Yorkville by J. NJ: Brice's; which at the
present time is ,inlpretty good; shape.
But while I am a;citizsH: :pf; this place
and hate to admitft, I thinkethat about
the toughest, hilliest, roliieat r9ed, any
where around is toSben benfound within the
incorporate limits Of the. town.
I'VE ought to be ashamed OF our:
selves-we people who live right here
in town. We have less town pride
when it comes to decent streets ttan
any place that know. Maybe 1t Is be-
cause that since we have been In the
rut so long we have decided we might
as we'll stay. Business Is little dull
right now and we've got plenty Of time
on our hands. I cannot take the lead
in the matter, because am no leader;
but I'll say this, If somebody here will
propose that we all take q day or two
days off real soon, get out all availa-
Bile plows and mules and road working
machinery generally, and contribute
the work gratis, we can make consid-
erable Improvement to say the least OF
/ It. I will be willing to do my part and
I'll do what I can to get ais many 9TH
ers out as possible. And II you thinle
what have said is worth printing;
why go to it."
