The present system does not keep the roads

to us that the keeping of the roads, like the carry

be put out to the lowest bidder under maxi
mum rate, and that the contractor should be

ty Board of Sup ervsors should have the oversight

MIsER's HoARD.-Sometime ago, an old
man named Jack Harkey, living near Matthews
station, Just across the line in Union county,
died and was buried and the little old house in
which he had lived alone for. many long years,
was locked up by his executor. Not long after
the old mans death, the executor visited the
house for the purpose of cleaning it up and put
ting i. in order for renting out Tic found 5000
in cash which it was known the old mau had.
and cleaned everything out of the house except
an old cupboard that stool in u corner Of the
room. As it was not in the way and not n bad
looking piece of furniture, il was permitted to
remain undisturbed, The house was rented TO
family who moved into il last week. The
wife did not like the looks of the old cupboard
and il was accordingly removed out OF the corner
where il had remained for perhaps q quarter OF
n century. As it was novel away, small tin
box, such rs is used by business men in which
to keep papers, was found on the floor covered
with dust. The man gave it n kick and was
| SURPRISED TO find that il was net easy to move,
and on picking it up was further surprised ut

and founl that the pile amounted TO the snug
li.tle sum of $1,000.
AS soon MS they had counted the money they
replaced il in the box aud hid it, when iherman
with honest haste went straight TO the executor
of Mr.. Harkeys estate and related the circum-
stances of the finding, nnsl closed by inviting
the executor to accompany him to the house and
take possession of the money. The executor
followed him home, and had all doubts as to tho

the box with its contents was brought ont and
set before his eyes. Our informant did not

THROUGH an inadvertence we omitted
to notice the fact that the Pomona
Times has entered upon its second year.
Considering its necessarily limited field,
it is very creditable publication, and
has done great good to the flourishing
valley in which it is issued. BY the
way, we notice that articles of inoorpo-
ration have been filed for two banks in
Pomona. A few years ago that at pres.
ent promising town was ranged over by
the sheep of Chiao Phillips. The ener-
getic people who have developed the
water facilities of that region, assisted
by the diligent cooperation of the
Times, have done wonders. 1t is pleas.
ant to know that they have also made a
good deal of money while benefiting
scores of people who were in search of
beautiful and productive homes.

SAMUEL J. TILpEN has telegraphed to
Hoadly his congratulations ''upon his
brilliant victory" Certainly, If acclaims
were ever pleasant to anyone, they
must be so to the Governor reject OF Ohio.
He has had the signal distinction of
triumphing over both the enemies of his
party and over his personal enemies in
his own party. Stricken down in the
midst Of very exciting campaign. and
by nc less foe than typhoid fever, he
had to scramble ON to his feet before he
was fairly convalescent and to plunge
again into the thick of the fight The
balm OF victory must come TO him with a
doubly.healing efficacy. All through the
campaign it was announced that the
causes OF Hoadly and Of Tilden were
one and the same. The promptness OF
the congratulatory telegram of the Sage
Of Greystone would indicate that this Is
true. uoadly has the further satisfac-
tion OF knowing that II tho Democratic
