This is the time of year that farmers
usually work on the roads, and we take
the liberty to suggest that more attention
should be given to grading. Much of the
land in this county will make excellent
roads if it is properly worked. Dirt
enough should be taken from the sides Of
the road to raise the middle at least two
feet above the common level. The grade
should be vide enough for teams to pass
easily, and it should be so sharp at its crest
as to shed water at all times ofthc year. 4
little judiciously applied labor will make

REFORM.

1t has long been evident that some men

that they were guilty Of corruption and

itself upon the people and they believed it.

Pacific Railroad dcepened the conviction
