Roads are all anybody can talk ahout at the present time. It seems that when Cleveland was first settled a county road was laid out which has since been swamped out, and for several sev-eral years people have been forced to travel the bench road extending down between the two sister stores and on past the Davis Opera house, the school house, blacksmith shop, postoffice and Davis hotel, besides numerous promi-1 l ent residences, and inasmuch as the I b. nch is being rapidly settled the people peo-ple thought the county road should be established there. As a result, a petition peti-tion was got ud, backed by over 100 signers (there being ih the neighborhood neighbor-hood of 150 taxpayers in Cleveland) and presented to the county commissioners at their regular session but the commissioners com-missioners thought it Dest to hold a public meeting to decide the question as there were still a few who wanted to take the road just out of the swamps onto the hillside and as a few pri. ate parties happened to own the hillside, of course there was objections. A good crowd was in attendance at the meeting meet-ing Wednesday, Au;j.6th and forseveral hours there was a bitter contest. Then it was finally motioned that the commis- j sioners decide the question but as the people in general felt that they had beed unjustly dealt with, the motion was put down and the meeting broke up in disgust but it wasn't until abjut 2 o'clock in the morning that th ; crowd dispersed and now everybody is on the ' warpath and we are no nearer roads than we were before. On Fridiiy Aug. 8th there was a ball game between Cleveland and Lawrence with a result of 5 to 4 in favor of Cleve land. On the same night the Hun :ngton orchestra gave a dance in the Davis hall.
