payors anywhere else. 1 do not know
how long the said road has been
thrown away, hut if they claim it was
thrown away at tho time that they
stopped warning hands, they certainly 1
then have worked a settlement road,
for they worked the hill just to the
east of Sandy Grove church since then,
hut only one time and that was, if I
mistake not. when they were Mulshing
up the road from Sandy (trove church
to Hethune. The most of this/ road is
part of a daily mail route, besides there
is also considerable traveling done by
others. The said road is certainly in
bad condition. I have heard that it
was said that to clay this road, they
would have to haul clay three ?>r four
miles. Now as I live on this section
of the said road, I will prove to any
man if he will only come out here
that that statement is incorrect. At
the extreme they would not have to
haul the clay over three quarters of a
mile. Now, whoever doubts this, only
come out here and I will prove it to
him. Then too. I heard that It was
said tl would take $10, (KM) to cla.v this
road from "Sandy drove church to
Lynches. It is only seven and a half
miles from Sandy (J rove to Lynches
river. In our judgment if a man were
to take a contract to clay it at $000
I?er mile he could clear good money,
and this cost would not be half what I
hoard it would cost.
The commissioner from this town
ship said before he was elected that
he would have some work done on thls_
road. He said of course he could not
promise to have It clayed, but bo would
have some work done on it. Now. Mr.
Township Commissioner, this is elec
tion year and we will Ih? compelled to
swap If you keep on -balking, and not
pulling. Is this not a free country?
You will answer yes. Is not justice .
one of the fundamental principles of
our constitution? You will answer
yes. Then prove it hy giving us part
of it. I think that if this road is not
given some work before, the next gen
eral assembly meets, the taxpayers will
son^ a petitionvto that honorable body
to have this said road re-instated.
Now, we are entitled to some consid
eration so give it to us. Voter.

"Say, Itastus," said the manager of
a Southern picture company to a Flor

steal two roosters."

Hnsslan border. To tho south an
equally mountainous country Is broken
through rare, miserable trails. In the

country near Lake Van.

an earthen enceinte, however, appear

irloomy. Tho streets are many sizes
too small according to the western
measure, ami they lack utterly In sta

badly drained and dirty, and the
bouses by their side do not add cheoi
with their old, unvaried facades of
dark gray volcanic stones.
"The town has always enjoyed a
fairly prosperous transit trade, for it
is on the main overland route from
Trehizond to northwest Persia ami to
the trade centres of the southern Cau
casus. A good road loads from Krze
