The closing of our stores at o clock p. m.
has caused our village to put on the airs OF a
first-class town. The clerks can be seen
every evening with their Sunday clothes on
playing croquet on somebody's lawn. GER
tain proprietor too, who says he has not spent
an evening with his family for twenty odd
years, is looking serene and happy. The
fact was, very little business was done after
| 8 o'clock, excepting on Saturday nights.
The condition of our public roads are again
attracting attention. few days ago we IN
terviewed Mr.. Frank Brown, asking him what
he thought of our county roads. "Well,
said he, ~ never saw the road from my place
to Springfield in worse condition; in fact,
never saw it so bad in my recollection, and
have seriously contemplated making private
road from my house to Sykesville." be also
said it was bad policy to reduce the taxes by
lessening the appropriation on the pubhcr ROADS.
We interviewed several other prominent
farmers. One told US that his wife always
walked to church, as she felt better prepared
thereby to listen to the Word, "and tell
Won what it is. old friend" said he, 81 have

brakes.
We had longed for camp meeting this
summer, for we have noticed these events
have generally given us better roads. A new
supervisor, near Freedom, who had promised
much, has performed very little 1--WE mean for
the public good) and we don't think the road
is in as good condition as it was this time last
year. One other road that comes under our
notice in this district was plowed up from
gutter to gutter; we suppose by this time It
has been seeded in buckwheat. We could
tell many things we know; how the supervisor
who employs his hands at per month makes
sixty cents per day on their labor ana now
the team that would be expected to plough an
acre and a half in the field would not plough
a quarter of an acre on the road, and how
the man at the shovel crosses his hands aud
talks to every passer by; but we fol bear, and
say to you all who have roads to mend, If you
want praise in public print give US good roads,
and we will praise you with all the adject'ves
in our vocabulary.
