Jim Pierson, formerly of the old Alter Mill neighborhood, but now near Rome City, and who claimed to have got hurt by a race horse falling with him some time ago, came here with a damsel, we understand, to be nursed a few days before the 4th, and put up at the hotel and stayed until the latter part of the week, when his brother from Morocco came over and gave him some good advice, and he slipped away from Fair Oaks and started for Morocco. When the woman found out what had happened she hired a livery and started in pursuit, but when she arrived at the farther side of the Lawler ranch she found the gates were locked, so she had to return. It is reported she telephoned Jim to meet her at Momence the following day. She left on the evening tram going north. Jim has a wife and one child near Kntman. We see an article in our county papers where it states that there is talk of voting a tax to build about ten miles of. gravel roads in Union tp. Now, we are very much in favor of gravel roads, but before they do anything like this, we would suggest that the township officials get at it and make the roads we have passable at all times of the year. Now, we have a road, the main traveled road from here to Mt. Ayr, that is in very poor condition, This particular part of road is about three and a half miles long, and has always been more or less neglected by our former trustee, B. D. Comer, and the supervisor, who lives in Parr. We had hopes that in the last election we we would have those offices filled with men that would look after the roads a little more equally in the township. But so far it is the same old story. This particular road is two miles west of Parr, and owing to the muck road which needs grading so bad, and the sand bills which are so. steep and high, and brush and timber which one would have to wind around through that a man could not begin to haul a ton of loose hay through any time of the year, with one team at one load. This one-sided business is very disagreeable. The above named .road is traveled more than twice as much as ten miles of the road that we hear spoke of giaveling. I
