with the position he has so long and
so ably and satisfactorily filled, but

all that have ever known him will
unite in saying he was an honest
man.
RESOLVED, That these resolutions
be spread upon the records of this
Association, that a copy thereof,
carefully engrossed- by the Secretary
be transmitted to his widow, and
that copies of the same be sent to
the three newspapers printed in this
county with u request to publish
the same.

The RoADs.-The Wayne Ne,rS,
has the following sensible article
on county roads. 1t says: "Now
right in the beginning of the road
year the attention of road survey
ors should be especially called to
two important points in connection
with road repairing. The first point
is the Importance of doing the work
as early in the spring as the wealth
or will admit of. The public needs
the use of the roads and the earlier
they are put in condition for use the
better it will be for the public. Be-
side, the ground works easier in the
spring and the roads so worked will
become settled before winter and
make better winter roads.
But the main point to be observed
in road building or repairing, is
good drainage. Keep the water off
the roads and there will always be
good, dry, solid roads. 1t is better
to ditch the roads and not touch
the road bed than to smooth the
face of the road and leave the water
to run on and over it. In a major
ity of instances, to run a few fur
rows with a large pillow, along the
upper side, would be the most effec-
five yvOrk that couId ha dona 70 tho
roads.
Good roads cost money but they
cost no more than bad ones. The
hardships on teams, the wear, tear
and breakage of vehicles and the
delay and enormous expense and
cost of hauling freight, are the
heaviest tax that our people have to
pay.

We have published paper in this
county for nearly thirty years, and
have never gone into the homes OF
private families and held up and
exposed their 'family skeletons
and their misdoings, to public gaze;
nor have we ever, in all these years,
as the editor of this paper, assailed
the private character of any man
or woman, because we failed'to get
their patronage, or for the reason
of our personal dislike for them, as
some papers, we regret to say, do.
We have aimed to publish a decent
paper, careful of the feelings of
others, and when we have to resort
to discussing personal matters edi-
torially" to abuse, scandalize and
villify men and women, to satIate
the demand of community "for
the news" then we will close the
doors of the REGISTER office and
quit the business of publishing a
newspaper, in disgust, and leave
the community whose cravings are
for "such news" But we don't be-
lieve the respectable people of this
county want to see such dirty, vul-
gar stuff in their county papers, but
on the other hand, we do know
that all such articles are condemned
in the strongest language possible,
by the good, the dignified, and the
respectable people of our town and
county. Those who take the REG
lister need never expect to find in
its columns any dirty scandals. If
they want to read that kind of stuff,
they must subscribe for papers that
indulge in such news.
