We call the attenjion of our citi

our public roads, and particularly to
the miserable condition of the fol
lowing roads: From Grakam to
Mann’s Ferly, From Hazlehurst to
L. Stone’s, rrom Appling county
line to Frank Lord’s place.
The time has arrived when our
citizens should realize the impor
tance of good roads and take some
steps to put our public roads in
first class condition. The roads
should be worked and at cross roads
signs should Le erected, and we
recommend that our Ordinary set
on foot some organized movement
0 arouse the interest of our citizens

We find that some dsmage has
Leen done to the court house by
the striking weight to the elock,
breaking loose and falline through
the ceiling, we recommend that the
O-dinary have the necessary repdirs
done at once, and have the -clock
put in runn'ng order and to have
some heavy timber placed under the
clock weight’s to extend across both
larce colums in the ceiling, to re
' ceive the weightsin case they should
break loose acain, we think this
would not only be a protection to
the court house but to the lives of
