Mr. J lditor. and we are glad to see the Democrat taking the lead in the matter of better roads, as it does in every other public question that is of interest to the general public. J The citizens of Jefferson township would like to see the old state road graveled or macadamized, and would willingly ' ote in favor of having it ] done from Otwell to Petersburg. A' large number of farmers have their crop of wheat in the granaries, but owing to the condition of roads are unable to market it when the prices are up. They begin to realize that they must have better roads on which to do their hauling. Let every farmer in Jefferson township go to work and get up ;> petition and present the same to he board of commissioners. Stendal Items.
