EDITORS REPUBLICAN = Allow
me space in your paper, which is
generally read by Republicans and
Democrats, for few items, which /
believe will be of interest to the peo-
pie of the county.
1t is well known fact to people
of intelligence that no section of
country can be what it ought to be,
without good roads through it to
open up a convenient way to market.
1t seems to me that the people Of the
northeastern part of Garrett county,
say No. 4, part of No. 1, and part
of No. are either not awake to this
part of their interest or else they
hav'nt had fair play, 1t is evident
that the northwestern and southwest
ern part of the county has the best
roads. Some of the largest taxpay-
ers in the county own property in
this part of the county: Joseph r.
Anderson, the Lochiel Lumber Co.,
Henry G. Davis and others, who are
large taxpayers. Mr.. Anderson own
ing tract of 10000 acres, common
cling at Back bone mountain, lying in
northeastern direction, extending
almost across the county. This land
is being sold by G. M. Miller, agent,
to enterpri.ing, hard working men,
who will become good taxpayers
There is not road from this large
tract of land that is fit for man or
beast to get to market. 1t is a well
known fact that the East is our best
market, and what the people of this
part of the county want is good
road to run from Bloomington direct
to intersect some of the roads at
North Glade, 50 as to give them an
outlet to Piedmont, Bloomington
ana Westernport, with their mar
kets, which are the only markets we
have for our produce. This road
ought to have been made thirty
years ago. 1t has been in agitation
for several years. Weliave, by hard
work, gotten levy OF eight hundred
dollars for the construction of this
road, which far exceeded the expec-
tation of the people. 1t Was thought
that 1T would cost three thousand dol
lars to make the road, but it can be
made for much less than that. This
road will give an entet to market to
a great many good taxpayers, who
have heretofore had to go Ii miles
oyer mountains, where the grade of
the roads is % feet to the hundred
| am sorry to say that SEINE of those
very men opposed thi4 road, which
will be Of vast importance to them,
from the fact that ii will lessen the
distance and he Of a good grade,
Their great objection to the road is
that it would increase their taxes.
Suppose ii would raise their taxes a
few cents on the dollar, would not
the advantage it would be to the set
Element of the county more than
balance the outlay. 1t is strange
that men will net see their own in
terest. If the Commissioners of our
county don't believe what | have
said in regard to this road, If they
will come to my house will spend
week showing them the roads in
cur end Of the county. If they say
1 hav'nt told the truth will forever
hold my peace. They had better
secure an accident policy before they
start, as / would not insure them
against injury during the examina-
ton.

chest, was sure preventive of the
trouble in nine cases out of ten. He
had recommended it to hundreds of
travellers and never known it to fail.

Battle Creek Correspondent cbioaE, TrjJuae.
While -trolling through the woods at
Gognac Lake yesterday afternoon T.
suddenly came across half dozen
birds Of the variety known a. brown
thrush or mocking bird. They were
all busy working at some object on
the ground, and did not notice my in
truding until ] was upon them, when,
with n shrill cry. they flew off short
distance and perched On the trees 10
watch my movements. Having my
curiosity aroused, ! went 70 examine
what ! supposed was a nest Of Young
birds, when to my surprise ] found the
dead body Of a female thrush, which
had been killed by shot from some
hunter gun and had fallen where it
lay. The birds which ] noticed about
1t had been covering 1t over with
leave-, sticks, little tufts Of grags. etc,
until only it, feet stuck out. Imnc-
dlatcly the story Of the Babe in the
Wood covered with leave. by robins
came to my mind and all seemed real
a. the time when in childhood rcal
the story and believed it to be true.
Anxious 10 see what the birds would
do ] stepped back Of a large tree to a
little distance and watched them.
Slowly the bird. came back one bv
one and continued the work Of bury
Ing the dead bird. While engaged
hopping about after leaves and grass
they would chirp in n low, melancholy
key what | took to be the dirge note.
Of the little birds funeral. ! did not
have it in my heart to disturb them
and watched them at their labors for
a full half hour, at the end of which
time the dead bird wa, completely
buried.
