our ROADS.
Are They Worked on The Right Pla.i

From Saline Count, pemecr...
One Of the most intelligent farmers
In the county, and business man Of
large experience called ct the Demo-
erdt Office this week TO talk to us on
the road question, and during the
conversation called our attention to
the following newspaper clipping a
indicatiys ofthe road system In vogue
IN the state OF New York:
"The town Of Amenia. in Dutchess
county, n. 7. has tried, with marked
success, the plan Of keeping . force
OF four or five men ~ work on high
ways through most Of the year, under
the ss.ervision Of Al experienced
and skillfui builder Of roads, who
gives his attention constantly to the
work. Every part Of the IS miles Of
highway in the township is in good
condition, and the expense Of keep
ing it so has been much less than
would have been by the old method.
The new plan has greatly relieved the
farmers, who have not been called to
work on the roads ct a time when
other duties demanded their atten-
ton. New York has law that di-
rects that the voters OF any town
may elect to adopt the plan of hiring
q force OF men and q competent COM
missioner to keep in repair the roads
OF their town, but The plan, once
adopted, must be followed for not
less than three years. It has been
found that by the method described
the roads have been kept in better
condition than ever before, and that
the cost Of the work has actually
been less than that Of roadmahng by
the old way"
That our own road system is de-
fective everybody will admit. and the
only dinefence OF opinion seems to
be In the plan to adopt for improve
ment.
1t will not do to say that the fault
lies in the county court, for such is
not the fact. Our county judges are
among the most intelligent men in
the co unity, and certainly strive to do
all they can for the Improvement of
the roads. 1t will not do to say that
the fault lies in the road oyerseers.

FROM MISSOURI TO NEBRASKA.

BLUE SPRINGS, NEB., July 26, 'S4.
DEAR JOURNAL "A leisurely trip from
Cabool, Mo-, to this place, enables me to
ilemize as follows: The wheat crop of
western Missouri and Kansas will be
above the average in quantity and is OF
excellent quality. The same can be said
of the oat crop also, but it should be
added that few days OF dry weather Just
now would be much priced by farmers to
enable them to stack or otherwise secure
these crops. For the last two or three
weeks rains have been frequent and heavy,
so much so as to seriously interfere with
farmers about stacking their crops.
Corn from Southern Missouri to this
place, although little late, gives promise
of "a full average harvest. The crops OF
less than half the usual amount aud
to suppliment it by sowing rye among
their corn.
Missouri politics are little slow to
move, bat the germ is there and will de-
velop in due time and will show quite a
per cent OF Butler men and stronger
Blaine vote than has been generally
counted on.
Kansas is booming red hot for Blaine
and the old General who furnished his
men with ten foot cordwood, despite
Grants order not TO modest rail fences.

heard from as being opposed to the mo-
| nopolists whenever and wherever found

BILIOUSNESS.

Bilious symptoms invariably
arise from indigestion, such as
furred tongue, vomiting of bile,
giddineSs, sick headache, iP-
regular bowels. The liver Sc
cretes the bile and acts like q
filter or sieve, to cleanse impu-
rites Of the blood. By irregu-
larity in its action or suspen-
sionS Of its functions, the bile
is liable to overflow into the
blood, causingjaundice, sallow
complexion, yellow eyes, bill
ious diarrh9a, a languid,
weary feeling and many other
distressing symptoms. Bilious
ness may be properly termed
an affection Of the liver, and
can be thoroughly cured by the
grand regulator Of the liver
and hillary organs, BURDOCK
BLOOD BITTERS. Act upon the
stomach, bowels and liver,
making healthy bile and pure
blood, and opens the culverts

of disease. Sold everywhere

A Fisby s,ory.-The Ottawa Coun

A Fishy StOry.-The Ottawa County
News says that an unusually large school
OF whitefsh has come to the Erie, Pa,
fishing ground within the past day or two.
The school is about forty miles in length
and several miles in width, the largest
ever known there. The fish run from eight
to twelve pounds in weight and there are
no small ones. They are very solid and
fat. Old fishermen say it excels anything
they have eyer seen. The fishermen will
reap their harvest, as the fishing grounds
for several miles are n forest of neis. The
large assemblage of the fnny den;zens this
season is attributed 10 the fact that a
northerly wind prevails, and therefore
there is a heavy current running.

Capt. Davis will make two excursions per
week from the burg If our people SO de-
sire.
The capacity of the Secor is from $50 to
200 passengers, but the Government in
spectors rates her at 100 and the Captain
does not care to carry over that number.
A quiet time and an enjoyable excursion
is what IL wanted and expected. The
boat will leave the Perrysburg dock at
A. NJ, aud returning will leave Toledo
at 5 Pm.
AZ the boat draws six feet of water
when loaded fears were entertained that
trouble might be experienced In getting
over Rock Bar, but j. c. Lydorf and
others investigated that point on Wednes-
day and found from 9 TO 10 feet OF water.

here and Toledo and we trust by next sea-
son we may have daily line between the
two points.
