County Itoadmaster Culver gave out the important information to day that from now on, for a few years at least, there will be but little paving of county roads com pared to what litis been done in the oust. . There Is a general misappre hension throughout the county that the market road program a outlined for th ; next five years i to be a general paving program and that it la the plan to pave the bulk ct tlie roads covered by the program.
