Many gentlemen of tills vicinity, feeling
the Importance of Improving the roml be

for labor upon tho road, In conjunction
with ihe citizens of Licking county, on the |

It Is hoped there will he a general turning
out for the accomplishment of an object
so long pursued.
Tills was eighty-two years ago. And
though every brunch of science, indus

miraculous advances in that time, the

Good lloads Magazine.
The barn raising, the quilting party,
the husking bee, have been relegated
to mythology by scientific economy.

There is poetry about the old time
customs, hut there Is more of music lu

over a hard roml thnu In racking and

A dollar spent on the road Is ns good

The wide tire niaketh tiie glad path

A hogged down nuto will not go that
