Obitu AIRY.

Died at his residence in Carter CO.,
Tennessee, after confinement of
three days, George Motterli, born Oct.
1872. Brother M. confded his faith
in Christ in the year 1912, united with
the Christian church and was a faith
full and jealous member till his SUM
mons from the earthly to the heaven
ly assembly of the saints. While
Brother Mottern was an active man
both in spiritual and temporal mat
tiers, he for years had been suffering
from a disease he considered incura-
bic, and often said to the writer, that
his stay on earth was short. But man.
ifosted no fears as to the future. His
companion informs me, as life's sands
were rapidly running down, standing
with his feet in the chilly waters that
separate us from the beyond, he said
it would have been pleasant to have
remained awhile longer with friends
here, but "all is right, / am ready to
co. The large assembly that attended
his funeral on Monday, and the unu-
sual sympathy manifested showed the
esteem in which he was held, but he is
gone! and MS David said in reference
to the dear child his heart yearned
after, brother NJ. cannot come to us
but we can 60 to him. Then let lis bt
ready. May the God of all grace com
fort the bereaved companion, weeping
children and large circle Of relatives
and friends who so fondly loved him

Nothing is so indicative of solid
progress in any community as the
roads, while, upon tho other hand, q
bad state OF roads is the very mark Of
sloth, poverty and ignorance, You
may speak Of clogging the wheels of
progress, but nothing will do it more
effectually than mud.
During the past winter we have seen
not less than ten wagons sink into one
mud-hole. With mud in front, mud
to the right and mud to the left OF
them, men have been seen to wade in
to the plastic substance, and put their
shoulders to the Wheel. to push out
the load by main strength and awk-
wardness. What can so debase ones
higher humanity as to be forced to
get down thus into the meanest con-
dition of terrestrial matter.
Our law makers have not succeeded
in making good roads, by the law
formula.
We cannot hope to improve them
to any great extent by the use of ridi-
culc, neither can money alone do the
work. What then, you may ask, will
be done to accomplish this all impor-
tant task, if laws, money nor ridicule
avail nothing. The answer is that
road-making must be taught in boil,
schools and colleges all over this land
Learn our young men to survey and
construct roads, to build bridges and
culverts.
Students spend too much timo ii
studying the dead past and not enougl
in the questions of orr aye and roun
try.
1t may be said by our older college:
that q broad culture is all important
but there is dangerof being too broa(
and thin. No one should ever be APP
pointed. to oversee a road who is igno
rant Of the best manner Of using thu
materials at hand.
The oyerseer seems to have no othc
business than to walk from one end o
the road to the other, followed by ;
gang Of men and boys. Let us dis
fpense with the oycrscer, and put in hi
place the civil engineer, and then W,
may expect improvements and no
until them X. w.
