People who never travel over the public roads in Fairfield County have no conception of the inconvenience and trouble caused by bad roads. We are not going to raise a fuss with the former County Commissioners or the present Supervisor, because we know that you cannot have good roads in rainy weather unless some person can fld dirt that rain will Dot soften. The problem is one that has* puzzled greater minds than ours, and the roads in our county are very much like the Arkansas traveler's house. You can't fix them in rainy weather and in good weather they do not need it. There is no better road in the world than red clay when it is dry. It is smoothe and elastic in dry weather and it is as mean in bad weather as possible. To make a macadamizei road would cost too much, and besides it is not long after dry weather sets in that the roads are good. Three days even make a wonderful change. But a person tak ing a certain road to a place would have wished a few days ago that he had gone "the other way ;" however, only to wish he was back in the first one. The roads are being worke'd. Mr. T. W. Raff has the reporter's thanks for fixing the slough of de spoid near his home, and the manager of the chain gang, Mr. Jno. Bank head, has our thanks for fixing the rod le iding to Monticello and the Dark Corner.
