Thought They Will Give $150.
There have been times when farm-

md roads. The extension of the ru-
al mall service IH bringing tlm farm-
r In closer touch with Die far away
city and making It more convenient
'or him to stay at homo and order
IB ! goodH by mall. It IH a recognized
'act that the rural mall servlco has
omo to Btay. In order to continue
o maintain the common Interests and
the mutual patronage , It Is noooHHary
o bring the farmer closer to town by
neans of better roadH , which ho can
ravel easily and In less tlmo.
Thin Is the beginning of the good
roads movement In Norfolk and It Is
lollovod by the projectors that It In
nit a modest beginning of a mounter
iioveineut that Is to como throughout
his whole territory.

merman this morning started Into the

who , It Is estimated , will give at least
$ ir > 0 toward the same Improvement of
their road.
The funds In the city were raised
by the Commercial club , Secretary
MathowRon having charge of the work.
The total subscription of the farmers
and business men will , It Is thought ,
reach almost $100 , making $800 with
what Is expected from the county , and
with this a largo amount of work can
bo accomplished. The road has been
In bad condition for a long tlmo on
account of rains and poor grading.

dition where It will remain all right
