pone the public sale of roads till
after the adjournment of the legis-
lature in expectation that the road
law might be changed, SO we learn.
If there has been any bill presented
to the legislature proposing to repeal
or change the law it must have been
kept very quiet We saw no report
of such bill. If the roads had a
good narrowing just now with one Of

would be the hest working they could
have, and would save both teams
and money.
Urge the proper officials to keep
the roads. especially the hills, free
from rolling stones. 1t is comparat-
lively easy matter to do this, and the
cost is very small. More horses
have had legs broken by these small
rolling stones than from all other
causes arising from defects in the
highway.
In week or ten days after the roads
have been worked they should be
gone over with wagon and the
loose stones hauled of. Never toss
them on the road side.

disc and well assorted. call and see us,

We congratulate our fellow towns
man Mr.. j. L. Mccullough on the
successful ending of his suit in which
the Diamond State Iron Go. were.
plaintiffs. The case was an impor-
tant one, involving stock and divi-
dends of the company named to the
amount of $4,000. Geo. w. Todd
secretary of the company, represent
ed to the respondent (McOullough)
that the stock of the company was
worth but its par value-$l0O per
share-and made an agreement with
him to purchase los shares held by |
Nc 'ullouga as an inheritance, at
par. AS matter of fact the stock |
was worth nearly double that figure
and, on becoming aware of that
fact, Mr.. Mccullough refused to
carry out the contract. The Court |
held that Todd was in honor hound
to disclose the real value of the stock |
and declined to grant the prayer for
q specific enforcement of the CON.
tract because the parties thereto did |
not deal upon an equitable basis.
The costs were assessed to Todd.
