1'HRRE is an important matter
connected with the public roads Of
this county, which We hope the
board Of county commissioners will
take into consideration. The pres
emit system Of turning over our roads
to the tender mercies Of what are
termed Road Supervisors, Is sheer
nonsense. They know no more
about making or mending roads
than blacksmith knows about re
pairing chronomoter. Road
making is q science, and hence
scientific men should be employed to
take charge Of our road system. A
competent person could doubtless
be found to take charge OF our
county roads at annual salary OF
81 200 or perhaps less. He should
be instucted by the board what are
county roads and what are private
roads. The former should be pla-
ced under his sole charge and man.
agement and he should be held
strictly accountable for their condi-
ton. A certain amount OF the
county levy, say Is or 20 cents OF
the amount levied, should be placed
at his disposal for each election dis
trict, and instructed not to exceed
the amount in each district at his
peril. The county is not so large
that he cannot exercise a supefvis-
ion of ell the roads in the different
districts. He should present to the
board an itemized account with
vouchers duly sworn TO, whenever
demanded, of work done in each
district, and if more money is re-
quired in any particular district
than has been provided, he should
submit the fact to the board, with
the reasons for asking an increase,
| and the board can grant or refuse
his request.
It has been the custom, we I'M
derstand, of former boards, to appro-
pirate to each district the sum or
81, 200 for road purposes, and that
before the year closes bills to twice
and thrice that amount are presen-
ted from every district except the
city of Annapolis; and no perceptible
improvements have been made to
our thoroughfares. They are in as
bad and hopelessa condition as they
were a hundred years ago, and
enough money has been wasted mp
on them in that time to McAdam-
Use every road in the county.
Our limits do not permit US to
discuss this question as We would
wish. We have merely indicated
the first important steps to be taken
and hope the board will take them
serious consideration under, and
cease to throw thousands of dollars
every year into the mud -puddles that
infest our highways.

TO Assist Nature

In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is
all that any medicine can do. In pull
monary affections, such as Colds, Bron-
chitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes inhamed, then
accumulations form in the air-cells Of
the lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction of the tissue. 1t is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes
can have no opportunity to heal.

No Failure OF Nafural-Gas Wells.

Muncle Times.
1t is a fair and the most reasonable thing in
the world to conclude that IL the wells in any
particular locality in the present limited gas
belt in Indiana should fail, that confidence
would be shaken as 10 the permanency of
natural gas everywhere in the field. So far not
q well in the county has failed, and not one
shows less strength than it did the day it was
piped and anchored. OF the twenty-seven wells
sunk in this county there has not been o single
failure to find gas in abundance, and as one of
the wells Jour first onel was developed a little
over two years since and has been supplying
gas to its fullest capacity ever since, and to-day
shows o little more force than the day it was
anchored and tested. it is safe to say that. so
far as human knowledge goes, the natural Gas
here is O permanent thing.

young women in the party became hystsrica.

Why Give Thanks?

For foodl All. yes, but sure for food
The fading flower may thanks express.
Since warmth of sun and earth's kind mood
Impart each hour some lovliness.
A lily lifts its beauteous head
In raiment such as kings may wear,
But of it's worth no lord has said
Its leaves enfold a jewel rare!"
A grateful heart will reason find
For thanks TO God through every hour
For life, for soul, for thoughtful mind,
For grace to bear. for conquering power.
The soul is more than richest hue:
The mind exceeds a fowret's breath;
To live and love-to be and do
Are not for fowers-they live for death!
Give thanks! But not for garments gay;
Who clothes the grass will so clothe you
Give thanks for this, let come what may,
Life, love and JOY are still in view
The life which is and is to come;
The love of God in hearts outpoured;
The Joy that greets q wand'rer home;-.
A rescued soulto Heaven restored.
