This should have been done vears sgo; but better lute than never. It has ls?en the general snpixwition thatan improve ment of this kind might cost several thousand dollars; but Judge Mariner in forms us that for even fcloo a much bet ter road can lie made than the present one, and for about $r00 he thinks a first class road can lie made, lie eavs $1000 would make almoHt a macadamized road out of it. It will be cheering news to all the teamsters and farmers in the county, as well as everybody else, to learn that at last this road Is to receive the atten tion it so much deserves.
