newly married pair "belling."
After the crowd had kept up the

came to the door and give them all
the change he had, and asked them
to desist and go away, as he had
had enough of them. But the mo-
ney did not satisfy them, so the

COUNTY RoADs,-West Virginia is
cursed with as poorly constructed
and badly kept roads as are to be
found in the universe. This applies
to all sections of the State.
The subject of better and more
permanent roads is being discussed
and agitated in different states at
the present time at public meetings
and through the leading magazines,
and is receiving some attention in
this state.
Col. Pave, of New York, who has
written much on the subject and has
given it careful study, gave utter
ance to the following, ut a meeting
recently held Mt Syracuse, in the in
tere*t of better roads:
at must be clear to any man of
the most ordinary business instincts
that good roads mean thrift, liberal
ity and wealth. They mean good
farms and good value to real estate.
They mean that the farmer will save
wear and tear not only on his wagons
but on his teams. A farm living five
miles from market on bad road
will fetch Il less price and be more
difficult to sell than an equally good
farm ton miles from market on n
good road, while a larger load can
be drawn by one horse over a good
road than by two or three over u
bad one. 1t is natural it should be

In accordance with resolutions
adopted at meeting of the farm
er's of Mason county on the 4th day
of January, 1890, forming a Farm
er's Alliance and providing that a
branch Club be formed in each Mag
esterial District of the county, we
earnestly recommend that the farm
ers of the several Districts meet at
their usual places OF meeting on
Saturday, the 18th day of January,
and organize by the election of a
President, Secretary and Treasurer.
1t is also desirable that the proceed
ings of these meetings be published
in the county papers in order that
the Executive Committee may be no.
tilted of your action.
The Secretary appointed in each
District will proceed to make out a
list of all farmers and others inter
ested in the subject of agriculture
who may desire to become members
of the club.
This action of the farmers has
been taken upon purely business
principles, and if we would make it
q success the work must be carried
on in earnest. Having taken only
the initiatory steps whatever defects
may be discovered in our mode of
procedure can be easily remedied
hereafter; what we now desire is to
be assured of "a willingness on your
part to CO operate with us in spirit
of fraternity.
