compared road conditions in the

we have a splendid system Of roads.

accomplish big things, saying that It
is an accumulation of the small

tain things, to not give up but keep
everlastingly at it and in time re-

Mr.. Hum the matter of continuing
extension work in this county, which
may have to be discontinued be-

was appointed from the club to
meet with the commissioners in the
matter, and to let it be known that
