Good Bridges and Good Roads.

Editor Press and Banner: ~
For two weeks past business has called me
over q large portion Of the county and have
been struck wit the improved condition OF
the public roads. Many OF them would do
credit to your Professor Kirby, YET great
many are in little or no better condition
than heretofore, but the most Of them are
now being worked on.
The Commissioners seem determined to
have the new road law executed, but 1t Is an
uphill business unless the overseers are In
sympathy with them. which from the gene
raj talk, I lam led to believe many OF them
are not. Let the Commissioners 60 on and
Execute the Law to the letter and we will
need no "road congress- In the matter OF
bridges, those built by the present Board are
better constructed and at less cost than here.

Cades Qower) mill deserves special mention.
1t was recently completed by Mr.. J. L. ,Aull,
Of Dyson's. 1t is one of the best, II not best
bridge in the country and cost less than hall
OF some. The commissioners deserve thanks
for the plan and specifications and Mr.. Aull
for his faithful and honest work on the
same. ..
Let the good work 60 on. TRAMP.

A WORD WITH YOU, MY FRIEND.
Deposit Your Money In the National
Bank at AbbeviIIe.

Very many persons will have surplus cash
this Fall, and their first duty Is to dispose OF
it to best possible advantage, or to Keep 1t
most safely and most conveniently for use In
"a rainy day." No man should hide away as
mnch as fifty dollars about his house, TO be
there as premium to induce robbers, who
may, If necessary to accomplish their pur.
pose, do even a worse crime than robbery. AS
no money In bureau drawer, or a little hair
trunk, or q little box, is safe, every man should
take his cash to the Bank, and there deposit II
for safe keeping. The Bank authorities will
give you blank checks, and pay it out on your
order. BY getting the Bank 10 lock your
money in their vaults, you benefit yourself
by having your money In safe place, where
you will be less liable 10 spend 1t than flying
loose around the house. We know OF one
man who put his money In trunk, which
was locked bya lock that a locksmith couldn't
pick. He thought his money safe. One night
some one took the trunk and money. In a
secluded spot in the woods he broke the
trunk and took the money, leaving broken
trunk and worthless papers as certificate
that the money was gone. Put your money
In the Bank.
