We would like to suggest to the town of Clinton that in its efforts to become a county seat and to form the new county or Musgrove that It could not do a better thing than to build the roads leading through the town.

This, too, is a part of the CapitalJto-Chunty highway. Gfood roads are an evidence of the right spirit and of a progressive communi ty as well as of civilization, Clinton will pardon tl e suggestion. There are others besides Clinton that need to wake up on the subject of road im provoment.?The Herald and News. Presented Watch ( harm.
