Wo are glad to see a sentiment in favor of good roads growing so rapidly in this county, and espo cially in the section east of town. Besides the work done by the wagons hauling rooks on the road east of town last Friday, it is now proposed to devote another day to that important work, and > f I ho uraakkaw m?! t .1 kl ? ???* ii t u<o nratuci 1 ^ nu tuil'tr U'MIIVT* row, there will probably be 35 or 40 wagons, and if Ihev do not get enough rook there that day to put the road in the conoition it should be put, they should all ' with one accord" devote another day to the work. The chain gang was put upon that piece of road Monday, and if the people will haul the rocks there the Supervisor will keep the gang there till that road is macadamized solidly from town to the Me Dow house. This is a piece of road of more than unu sua! importance. 1'erhaps four fifths of tin' fire wood used in Lancaster, including what is used at t lie Cot ton mill and in the houses of tho operatives, is hauled over this piece of road, and it will he for years to come. lie sides, it is the nutlet to the larg est and most populous as well as most prosperous portion of the county, and is therefore travelled by more people coming into town to transact business than any other piece of road in the Conn tv. Then let every body take an " interest in this work, town peoTil." ?p! 'vpll pmntl ?m? nontJo ft\r i'iC ,u'u rv %,i all will be benefitted bv this im proveinent. It is proposed that the ladies shall have a hand in this work by sending baskets of dinner for the workers to morrow, the details of which will appear else where in these columns.

Well, ho moved out, of course ; but it was a bad thing for the Governor and Kpton that ho did, for ho at. once bogan camping op their trails, with the result that ho is now sitting on the former while dangliug in his belt is the scalp of the other.
