the Commissioners can't do much, unless aided
by the appreciation and good works of all in

care and judgment in the selection of Overseers.
The amount of work done under the direction
of an incompetent Captain has little to do with
the condition of u road, unless it is for the
worse. Our present road law may have been

countablc why our Legislators do not make the
necessary changes but when we reflect that
the dear people have never made this subject
a matter OF consideration in the selection of can
! didatcs, we can very readily understand why il
has been so long neglected. Just think of the

obliged to make the sacrifice and sell or the
party who buys at Il higher figure will be 4 suf,

Money may be more plenty in the country, but
upon investigation we think it will DC found in
the hands of monicd men. If they arc willing
to lend it at lower rate of interest it will be
because there is no safer more profitable in
