| road at the Hancock line. Not as
| many volunteers turned out as on
some previous good roads days, but

done. About half a mile of road
was given a good coating of gravel,
and good piece of work was done

the water out of the road and ditch
ing the road on both sides. This
has long been a bad place in the
road. Altogether about fifty or
sixty men worked on the road, La
