ROads.-We do not belong to the class Of
chronic grumblers, but wherever there is
great need for important work, or where there
has been palpable neglect, we think that it is
the duty of public journal, identified with
the interests Of the community, to call atten-
tioa thereto. The public road which leads
from this village to La Plata, thoioughfare
more travelled over thal any other in the
county, is at the present time in worse COZ :
dition than ever known before, and is a dis
grace to the comfy. Whenever sr. nge $
come to the county by rail on business at 4 e
county seat, they invariably travel over tbs
road, aul the impression created can be none
other than b.rf For years past our roads
were known as the best in III State, and it is
to be hoped that those fighting under the new
banner REFORM will I OF allow it to be said

Mr.. Posey's Card-We publish else
where the card of Mr. Posey, which exprcsse
his views and shows his vote on the Bastard
law, which has three times teen beaten by tn,
Democratic House Of Delegates, not by voting
against it, but by the less manly style Of re-
tusing to vote at all. Comment on this ac-
ton by the majority, is, to the intelligent
man, unnecessary. Any impression whic
may have arisen, any opinion formed that hi
views were other than favorable To the remov-
al Of this unjust discrimination, does Mr.
Posey an injustice, for it is well known fac
that be has all along been earnestly il favor
Of such an amendment to the law. We will
further add that it has been for years past,
the WISH and earnest eLdeavor, Of tie RepuL-
llcan members of the Legislature, not onl
FROM this county, but from the State at large.
to have this unjust law, which makes an obi.
Gus discrimination in favor Of immortality,
