GENERAL.

, The Board OF Experts investigating the
yellow fever epidemic of 1878 have sub
mitted a report to the Joint Congressional
Committee, in which they take the ground
that yellow feveris an imported disease, and
recommend that the necessary steps be TAX
en- by Congress to secure the cooperation,
Of the Spanish and other foreign Govern
ments, through an International Commits
sion or otherwise, In an earnest effort to as
certain the cause or causes which perpetuate
yellow fever from year to year in the West
India Islands, and to devise ways to remove
the cause or causes, or to lessen the chances
Of transporting the poison to the United
States or to other countries. A stringent
system Of quarantine isrecommended; also,
that dead bodies Of yellow fever victims be
promptly buried, and the assembling Of
persons at their funerals be discouraged.

that he ought to step enc side and rest
and we ought to try e. S. Mills one

will not do it. The men who bolted 81

the Clerk that there was a deficit of
$o4.6o. The hooks were thoroughly ex.
amined from the time lie took the office
and his acc cunts were found to be per-
f'ctly accurate and 10 deficit whatever
was found.
This notice was sent to the Clerk and
the meeting WAS called because the

ticit ofS9l,6o. The books and vouchers
of Mr.. Howard show that there was no,
a cent lacking. The details and figures
OF the whole transaction will be give,

WHAT WE NTLGOOD ROADS.
Facility of travel and transporta
ton act like music upon tie pros-
perity or a country With rich sad
fertile soil and industrious, enter
prising farmers. However fertile
and productive the land may be,
however industrious and pushing the
farmer may be. if the conveyance OF
bis products to market is difficult
and laborious, struggling through
mud holes With his wagon and team,
falling into deep and miry ruts,
climbing steep bill sides, large per
cent. OF their value is used up, and
he has hard "row to weed" What
would the immense grain crops Of The
West be worth TO the farmers of that
section without railroads 10 trans
port them to market? Good roads
are great civilizers. Wherever they
are made and kept in good order,
prosperity is sure TO cling TO thai
community as closely as a young
calf follows its dam. The road ad
vances civilization, and the prosper
GUS people in turn makes and sup
ports the road better and still better.
Railroads. are OF great importance to
any community, aud the labor and
capital invested in them shows the
high appreciation in which they are
held by the people, yet we contend
that good country roads are Of equal
Importance if not Of greater. We
can get along without railroads. We
have only to look back 30 or 35
years to attest that fact, but we can,
not live with any degree of comfort
without onr country roads. We all
know the great convenience Of good
pathways and roads on our farms, In
our lots, yards and gardens. How
pleasant 1t is TO have everything easy
of access. how greatly conveniences
facilitates work and makes it easy
and pleasant, yet we are blind to
the great conveniences aud untold
troubles occasioned by the miserable
condition in WHICH the country roads
O: East Tennessee are kept.
No nation or couatry ever existed
without the public highways, and the
condition in which they are kept is
as unfailing sign Of their prospect
ty or poverty as that water will seek
its level. If The roads are bad, pro-
gress and permanent Improvement
is forever blasted in that country.
They demoralize and dishearten the
people, and no stranger is ever at.
tached to tha' country. The tourist
and traveller looks back and remem-
Oers the scenes over which he has
passed at the imminent risk of his
ife and limb. and has no desire ever
again to revisit that section, and he
warns others Of the miserable roads |
md highways or that country. Good |
Dads invite immigration and pleas,
ire seekers; they encourage people
0 go to church; they foster and en-.
ourage good schools, and the social
of the noighborhood is
made pleasant and greatly enhanced,
nd good humor and good feeling
bounds in every heart and is visible
. every face.
