There Is indeed a great contrast be $ween the roads of the oounfcy a yea: .ago and the roads of to-day. This wa very noticeable during our recen "trips with the county treasurer. Mac] -of the roads have been sand-clayed axx turn-piked. Roads that were almos Impassable and over which it was im possible to carry a reasonable load i year ago, are now in exoeil mt condi tion. The chaingang has done th< best and most effective work this yeai dfc has ever done since the organizatior of the system in this county, and those in charge of the gang are to be con gratclated. Of oourse it has taker money, but there is no better way ir which to spend money than upon the public highways, and there is no place where it will be more appreciated bj all the people, and where more people will be benefitted by its expenditure. There is one piece of road we want to -ceo worked by the chaingang and that I cno mioici run uniiiui i . r WE< Fn*y Vasts, Tlas, Haaifeerattlefi NtoMnri Sofa, Heal Svapenders to Hat Coats, Umbrellas.

It would be the best work the chaingang ever did and we are informed that the supervisor contemplates finishing this piece of road some time during the r coming year. There is absolutely 110 good roads in this section of the county r and most assuredly the good people of = t.hA Band hills are entitled to some ? consideration. It would have a tendency to build up that section of the . county and awake new interest among the farmers and help them to strive to greater achievements. We believe ? that the people living alon^ this high* way would gladly aid in this work, by hauling with teams and otherwise helping, thus eliminating the cost to an appreciable extent. When the r people once become acquainted with J tte benefits to be derived from good * roads there will be no doubts as to the J improvement of our roads. Another ' piece of road that needs attention?and t we understand this work will be done " at an early date?is the Augusta road. * There is only a small distance of this * road between Lexington and Leesrille 3 that has not been clayed and this r should be completed at the earliest 1 possible moment. Let everybody pull 5 together for better roads. i 1 i It is to be hoped that the people of > Lexington will continue to take more > interest in the keeping up of the public ' highways. Great progress has been i made during the last year, and if the same effort is kept np it will not be > long before Lexington can boast of as good roads as any county in the state. niHs tmheI OFFER .1 Fatty Hfllf Host ? aflri Half.
