ing discussion. Last week in Hamburg, ASHLEY
COUNTY. Justice Of the Peace Court Mrs Nettie
C Ivey of Boydell fined for obstructng pub
lie road which runs through her place, and for
which she has received the just compensa-

The interesting feature is not that she was fined
such exorbitant sum but that during the trial the
white prosecuting witness, who had to pass over
the road to his house, upon apparently finding out
that it was public highway and as such should
be IMPROVED, asked the all searching and en-
barrasing question IF its a country road then why
do we have to repair it, IN THIS LAND OF
OURS!
