account of the crowds wishing
for better roads m their part of
the county.
Several different crowds of
petitioners were present. It was
ordered that the bridge at Black's
mill and Rocky River road be
postponed until the June meeting.
As the petitioners themselves
have changed their plans in re
gard to the proposed road from
Flowe's store to Bethel the mat
ter was postponed until the next
meeting.
It was ordered by the Board thit
a jury be summoned to lay off a
w
road from Cedar Grove church on
the Concord and Camden road to
Farr'a store to run as straight as
practical between said terminal and
to lay off a road from said Cedar
Grove church to Heglar'a bridge on
Rocky river, but to use the Furr'a
8 tore road to some point on the Al
len Boger lands and as straight as
practical from said Furr's road at
said intersection to paid bridge. It

was farther ordered that the peti-J

The Bev. L G Broughton, Bap.
tist minister in Atlanta, Ga., took
occasion to denounce the terrible
Hose lynching at Newnan, only 40
miles from there. He received some
tbreatenining letters and being of a
rather combattive temperament he
uttered some acrimonious defiance
It was resented by breaking into
his ohurch, descrating it terribly,
turning the water into the church
and otherwise injuring it. The
parson also (received bits of the
roasted body of Hose with threats
i
of injury. Thus one outrage follows
another with little tendency to soften
or improve.
