Road Work.

During the past week Road Supervisor
Kelly has had men and teams at work on
the bridge in Buchanan's Valley and the
crossings of McNiel and Turtle creeks,
and the labor expended has done much
toward perfecting this end of the thor
oughfare to the Capital. The bad spots
are now confined to Bnrlc1gh, and it is to
be hoped that the commissioners of our
sister county will rise to the occasion and
appropriate the sum of 500 to improve
the north. end of the road. This amount is
amply sufficient to ill in the one or two
mud holes on the Bismarck half, and give
a good road from Williamsport to the
capital.

panied by Mr. Parks, was at Livona yes.
terlay, bringing with him work for the
blacksmith.
With prairie fire on this side of the
river, and the wind blowing strongly
from the south, nothing but Long Lake
creek saved the settlers on the north side
from being damaged to q great extent re-
Gently. If those who set these fires could
but be discovered and receive the punish
ment they deserve, think prairie confla-
grations would soon become a rarity.
1t would be wise idea. for the Win
chester bachelors to appoint a committee
to visit the Eastern States, where there is
a supcrfluity of ladies enjoying single

by your Winchester correspondent were
fully presented to the lonely fair ones of
the East, they would immigrate to Beaver

An Item, and why 1t Was Delayed

An Item. and Why 1t Was Delayed.
One of the RECORDS best local items
failed to appear last week 1t was i'll
type but, just as we were getting ready
for press, subscriber came in and paid
up. THIS excited us so that we became
nervous and "pied" the aforesaid item
and it was too late to reset it. In future,
when a delinquent subscriber comes into
the office, with the money in his pocket
and a grim determination to liquidate,
let him approach the subject cautiously
and arrive at declaration of his inten-
tions in an indirect way. A good plan
would be to tackle us after the style of
one seeking a fresh stand-off, and gradu-
ally lead up to a climax-the production
of a two dollar note. Newspaper men as
rule suffer much and complain little ;
but there is limit to, forbearance, and
the line must be drawn somewhere. No
individual, without provocation, should
do aught which is liable to bring pain to
the physical or spiritual ''feelinks" of
another; and no Christian will expose a
newspaper man to an attack Of mysteries
or blind -staggers by approaching him alb
ruptly in the matter of paying a delin-
quent subscription. Yum-yum We have

gers and side by-side sat q big, burIy
negro and a nervous, rather cross
looking white man. Presently a
lady entered and stood half a min
ute or more, when the white man
turned to the negro and asked:
"Why don't you offer that lady
your seat ?"
"Sartainly, sab, sartainIy, sab, IRE
piled the negro, as he at once rose up,
politely offered her the seat and step

after negro woman entered the car
and not motion was made to give
her seat. The negro waited a min
ute or two, and then stepped to
where his late instructor in cour-
tesy was sitting took off his hat and
said
"S'cuse me, sab, but why don't yo'
offer dis lady yo' seat ?"
