Business Men Work on Road.

Bankers, lawyers, merchants, doctors, newspaper men and members of the faculty of the University of Indiana took a day off Thursday and worked on the roads of Monroe county from the point where the county line begins to the last lap in the southern part of the county. Hogbacks were taken up, holes and ruts were filled and ssme bad stretches of pike were put into first class condition for the visit of Thomas Taggart and Carl G. Fischer, Indiana commissioners on the Dixie Highway, who will inspect the proposed stretch through that oounty. About 300 business and professional rpen worked on the road. All provided their own teams and paid for the gravel and crushed stone. The only expense for the county was the steam roller and drag.

How about the porch boxes? It is not too late to order them made. They help the appearance of the home and add fragrance to the air.
