Road in Bad Shape.
For the first time since the installation of auto service between Harrison and Bergman, several years ago, the transfer line was forced to return to hacks and teams yesterday. It seems there has been a change in the road from School house No. 99 to the end of the Maxey lane, and over this section the road is so soft as to be practically impassable. In view of its importance to the traveling public it seems that special effort should be made to keep this road in good shape, and changes should be made with extreme care.
