Every farmer that comes to town
complains of tho bad roads he has to
travel over to get here. The very
fact that such complaints are made
should awaken and interest.among the
business men of Rochester to the i'm
portance Of improving the public
thoroughfares and put stop to the
continual grumbling about bad roads.
Much has been said about the build
ing Of pixies, but as yet nothing has
been done except the talk part, and
that does not help the roads or bring
trade to town. 1t is quito certain
that Rochester looses thousands OF
dollars worth of trade every year on
account OF the impossible roads for
about four months each year. This
condition ofroads usually occurs at
the very best seasons for trade, and
other towns profit BY our indifference.
There Is scarcely another town in the
State of the size. of Rochester that
has not expended vast sums OF money
for the Improvement Of the main
thoroughferes leading to them, and
as a result those towns experience no
seasons of adull times" on account
of had roads. Now is the time for
perfecting an organization for a
thorough campaign in road bnildins
next season.

in this case adding to its natural
enormity. 1t was beasily to an in

horrible facts this sentence is u trav-

it in no other light than an instance
Of the inefllciency Of the jury system,
