THE COLUMBIA ROAD. We are glad to see Supervisor Corley has put the chaingang to work on the road between Lexington and Co iumoia, ana as a certain oia iriena 01 ours once said, it was'nt done "Nary minute too soon," for the road had become almost impassable, and our readers will remeber that we called attention to it last week. However, we felt sure that the bad condition of this road would be corrected as soon , as possible, for Supervisor Corley is a broad minded man and can alwayi be depended upon to do the right thing.
