County News Notes
Langford.
There has been some oh ills and
fever in this community; but no
serious sickness*
Mrs. Genie Langford and daughter
Hattie Pearl, visited relatives here
last week.
Van Kersh and wife, of G oshen,
who have been spending some time at
the home of A. T. Miller returned
home Sunday.
We are sorry to learn of the serious
illness of our former neighbor Joe
Holden, in Jackson. He and bis
mother are both sick with slow fever.
A light shower - fell here this
(Tuesday) morning, but not enough
to do much good. We are badly in
need of a “chunk floater.”
Langford is building up some; you
can hear the hammers in several
directions on a clear morning.
Our next board of supervisors should
keep in mind that we want $9000 or
$10,000 spent on the public roads, our
present board have improved the court
house considerably, and have made
some other necessary improvements,
for whioh they are to be commended;
have helped to build a monumedt to
our veterans who have died to pre
serve a “solid south” and to those
who hava lived to see it preserved,
which is an honor to them and to
those they represent, but we want and
shall expect more of the next board
than this one did. The old ones
helped us one way which benefitted
the few compared with the many
that road improvements would
benefit. It is a strunse thing to the
writer why so many are so dilatory
about taking up the sobjeot of better
roads and pushing it along when it
would materially benefit every man in
the county to have roads straightened
and properly worked whether he be
farmer, merchant or mechanic. About
the only ones to whom it would be de*
terimental are the condition powder
manufacturers, for with good roads
we would have very few run down
horses to have to feed powders to.
Push it along for number one.
