Sell has V sely provided for another lth
prove n ant OF national concern; nameiy,
survey for a suitable avenue TO Nit. vernon
Although only twelve miles distant, 1t now
requires full day to reach this point OF In
tereat and pilgrimage. The plan is to open
wide avenue on the Virginia side OF the
Potomac and provide it with driveway
and railroad track. which shall make IL pos
sible to reach Mt Vernon in half an hour.
Connected with this, it is proposed to erect
a bridge of imposing architecture from
point near the White House to Arlington.
This is needed to make accessible that spot
of Intense interest to the nation. IL IS the
point about which the veterans and eli their
friends make first inquiry. at present IL
can only be reached by drive of several
miles, and at an expense of S. for carriage
fees. The, proposed bridge, in connection
with the projected Mount Vernon avenue,
would place this national cemetery and PARK
within easy walking distance of the hotels.
and within ten minutes ride by street Cars.
The survey ordered will probably lead the
next Congress to begin the work on the
bridge and the avenue"

THE "CHAMPIoN !"
LARGE DELIVERY OF MACHINES
ON SATURDAY

1t was an interesting sight Saturday last to
witness the delivery of Champion Machines
made by Mr.. Joseph Shaft, the old agent for
the company in this county. Wagon after
wagon left the Wabash depot laden with
"Champions, )" the best harvester in the mark
ct to-day, until two Car loads were disposed
of, making forty. four machines delivered
that day This is a remarkable delivery to
be made so earlylin the season, nearly three
months before harvest is here, and shows
that Mr.. Shaft has not been letting grass grow
under his feet this spring. He has been
ably assisted by Mr.. s. B. Stroup, of Spring
field, Ohio, his gentlemanly salesman, who
has been untiring in his efforts to show up the
merits of the champion"
Mr.. Shaft expects to deliver one or two car
loads more of these machines before the sea-
son closes, and he invites all who are consid-
ering the matter about buying harvester
this spring to call and learn the good traits of
the old champion" before buying any other
machine. The fact that he has sold so many
of these machines in the past years and this
season is guarantee enough that they are what
they are represented to be-the best machine
for all purposes in the market.

Making Roads.

time draws near when the farce of working
out the road tax will be played on our coun,
try roads. With all the money assessed fol
road purposes we should have better roads
We would have better roads if the taxes were
applied in systematic manner. The roads
should be made and kept in repair by con.
tract, aid should be subject to examination
by competent officer upon whose favorable
report only could the contractor draw his
pay. This plan is pursued in some of the
New England States and in eastern New
York with marked success. The roads are
better kept and at less cost than they were
under the system now in vogue in Ohio"

A certain young gentleman stroled into a
m illlinery store the other evening for chat
with some of the lady clerks. He walked
back into the work-room, and, seeing no va. .
cant chair, sat down on the edge of the table,
not noticing the needle cushion. When he
arose, after pleasant chat, the lower part of
his coat was filled with needles, which were
replaced in their cushion in short order. But
one or two remained secreted in the coat,
and all unconscious of this fact, he went to
call on lady friend. She received him cra-
ciously, and offered him an easy chair He sat
down, but not for long, as the treacherous,
hidden needles caused him to leap into the
middle of the room with bound, and also
caused him to make hurried apology for
his conduct, and beat hasty retreat
