The st. Lawrence papers in their frantic
efforts to obtain for that benighted town
the sympathy Of the farmers of the
county, are practicing the very lowest
pethods ever resorted to in journalism.

newspaper the Tribune has ever been
f0nsidered failure by the st. Lawrence
people. 1t has never contained
creditable account of anything happen
ng In st. Lawrence, and its single column
local news each week consists of per-
0nal mention of few favorites, items on

TWO years, and it's reasonable to sup

MI. EDEN, Va, Dec. 18th, 1884.

Mr. Editor
have been observing the
condition Of the county roads for several
years, more particularly than before and
wish to say something in reference.
have come to the conclusion that the
present laws and systems Of working
roads are very deficient or inadequate or
the officers are lacking in money or energy,
and | would like to know, could there be
something done for the improvement Of
our country roads. The towns get most
of their sustenance from tue country,
therefore, think they should be more or
less directly or indirectly interested in this
matter also. viii say something in re-
gard to the road that mostly concerns me
at present, land othere may speak for
themselves) viz: The road from Edinburg
to Fadelys saw mill.
Commencing at Edinburg the road
within the Corporation certainly is no
credit to the town, and from the corpora
Will the Supervisors and Commissioners
look at this piece of road for themselves
and say, is it not out of the question that
road travelled as much as this should be
left in this condition. No bitches on the
side of this road, and most Of places to
narrow, and I was told several days ago
that their is no record Of this road, no
specified width with few exceptions. This
is a road that could be made good and
according to the travel should be so, but
hear the excuse. There is go much heavy
hauling that we can not keep 1T good.
" oil right here is the mistake, it never has
been made good since there has been road
here. Of course have not always lived TO
see it, but / can Judge that if ever 1t was
good their is no trace left now. Much
could be said just now about some oil the
roads. while some are undoubtedly in
7 good order. And then in some instances
money has been appropriated TO open
roads Of little consequence and almost for
the benefit of two or three persons, while
the road referred to is neglected and con
Germs five hundred times as many. Why
not make the roads we have, good befor
spending money to open much less inn
portaut ones. And further, think the
law should compel road masters to ditch
the sides of the roads where it is necessary
and also to use a pillow on the road where
and when it can be used to facilitate work
and when it really is necessary. l think
have said enough, and chat gentle re-
hinder WILDE enough to bring this matter
to notice, and if any one has anything tC
say, say it 20 all can hear. In conclusion
| will say, wish to cast no reflection up
on any road master or other officer as
presume they are all men Of high standing
but fear if man much longer forbears to
speak, these old mules and horses viii
ere long begin to speak for themselves.
Very Respectfully,

OUR NEW YEARS REsoLUuON.-Who
was, or Is, or may possibly confess himself
responsible for the errors In the columns
of editorial matter which the HERALD
has contained for a time past We cannot
say. We think he is possibly several. The
vile typo who invented the photography
Of spelling bric-a-trac with "K'' cannot
be dealt with according to his deserts
here below. The fellows who set up
"laundriedD without an {; who made
"reyered emblem read reversed" en-
blem in a Christmas article; who could
omit the negative mot" to make an editor
say exactly what he did not mean to say
in a particular sentence on politics who
could make restoration" out of "resolu-
ton" and read mars backs for moss backs
will do better hereafter. For month
they have been crazy in anticipation OF
Christmas joys in store. And the PROOF
reader--he will be de ad or married or both
unless he shall do better in January. He
will then have time to reflect that a pa
per looks better with only half the letters
upside down, and some little time to de-
vote to photography, etymology syntax
and prosody At anyrate, excepting the
errors apparent on the FIRST page of this
issue-sOme unavoidable because Of neces-
sary haste aud large amount of holiday
work--the proofs Of the HERALD will
hereafter come up near to deserts of the
large subscription, the advertising patron
age, the responsibility and intelhgenoe OF
its readers, and the high standard OF
newspaper excellence which we have
started to attain for tho HERALD.
