independence among newspapers. During the cam
paign which has just closed THE TRIRUNE haI fully

We take pleasure in calling the fav-
orable attention of our readers to the ad-
vertisement of THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE,
published in another column of this paper.
THE TRIBUNE has fairly earned in its best
and broadcast sense the distinction of "the
leading American newspaper" 1t leads in
the promptness and completeness of its
news, in the honesty and independence of
its policy, in the fairness and ability of it's
editorials, in the fullness and variety of its
correspondence, in its literary and scientific
intelligence, in its thorough and excellent
agricultural department, and, in short, in
all which make up progressive, far-sighted
and liberal newspaper. THE TRIBUNE
leads the entire press of the country. The
recent course of THE TRIBUNE toward the
South aud its political and industrial inter-
ests has been marked by the same fairness
and friendlness displayed by Mr.. Greeley
from the close of the war. The impartial
and intelligent letters by TRIBUNE cores
pondents from Alabama and Louisiana did
just service in showing to the people of the
North the true state of affairs in those
unfortunate and slandered States, and in
all questions affecting the South THE TRI-
BUNE is sure to deal kindly and honestly.
THE TRIBUNE deserves and should receive
wide circulation through the South. It's
terms are low and its commissions to agents
liberal. Read the advertisement.

THE ROADS.

MR.. EDIToR:-Can you inform me
whether the County Commissioners have
taken any measure to carry into effect the
law passed last session of the Legislature,
to have the road repair of the county let by
contract to the lowest bidder? The law is
certainly a good one, and in these hard
times might have the effect, if enforced, to
reduce our taxes. 1t is now some eight
months since its passage, and l have not
seen any evidence in either of the county
papers, that any movement has been made
by the Commissioners towards enforcing
the law. TAX PAYER.
We are pleased to be able to crafty our
correspondent "Tax Payer" by stating
that the Commissioners have made arrange
ments to have charts of the roads in each
Election District executed, which will have
the lengths from point to point marked
This is the preliminary and necessary work
toward letting the roads out by contract to
the lowest responsible bidders, as contem-
plated by the law. The new system, it was
found, could not be put into operation
before next Spring, when the present Super
visors' terms of Office will expire. During
the coming Winter, after the charts Of the
roads are completed, the Commissioners
will let the roads to contractors in the man
ner the law designates, in time for the new
Supervisors to commence operations in the
Spring.

A QUESTION FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.

QUESTION FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.
ONE AND ALL !-Somebody was born in
Litchfeld, England, September IS, 1909.
He received his early education from one
Hunter of whom he said, "He beat me
WE'LL" In 1877 he went to London, and
wrote for the Gentleman's Magazine. This
however, brought him but small sum.
One of his books was written to pay the
expenses of his mothers funeral. To use
his own words, 1t was written in the
evenings of a week" He was very fond
of his cat, Hodge, and would go out every
day to buy oysters for it. Among other
eccentric ways, he had trick of touching
the posts as he walked, and mysterious
practice of treasuring up scraps of orange
peel.
Both generous and benevolent, he made
a rule to do some good every day. Among
the many amusing stories related of him,
we find that having been invited to din
ner party, he failed to make his appearance
until the party were about to sit down at
the table, when he appeared at the great
gate, contemplated it, and at length climb
ed it. When asked if he had forgotten
that the gate could be opened, he said,
"No; but had mind to try if l could
climb gate now as | used to do" From
an entry made in his diary we find he read
one book of the 4Encd in an evening, and
knew the Eclogues by heart
He died Dec. 10, 1884, and was buried in
Westminster Abbey.
Who was he?
